said GM Theo Epstein . ''We feel the time in Arizona was time well spent. We intend to continue to be patient with Curt and make sure he's 100 percent ready before we send him out in game situations.
I don't give two (expletive) when Manny shows up. He'll be ready to play. I don't care. He'll be ready. One thing Manny does is put in his time and effort into getting ready. On (Opening Day) April 3, he'll be here and ready to hit.
One thing Manny always does is put his time and effort into getting ready. I'm not worried about that. Once it's April 3 and he's healthy, we'll be fine. Manny's one of those guys who if he didn't show up for Spring Training, I'd still know he'd be ready for the season when the season started.
I feel good and ready to go. If they're ready for me to get back, I'm ready to get back there. I hope to see action, maybe we'll be ahead by a large enough score that I won't be needed, but that's the hope.
I feel like I'm ready already. If my next start was Opening Day, I'd be very comfortable with where I'm at.
We'll show up in spring training and get ready for the season and try to win another World Series, ... It's not like we're going to have a sit-down.
Today was probably as bad a fastball physically as I've felt like I've had all spring. Regardless of my emotions coming out of this game or how I feel about everything. I've got to be ready to go Monday.
It happens all the time, guys all over the big leagues show up at different times. He'll be ready to play. Manny's one of those guys who if he didn't show up for spring training, I'd still know he'd be ready for the season when the season started.
For the first time since April 2004, there really is no physical limit to getting ready for me. That's a big difference.
I'm ready to be good again. I'm ready to throw a lot of innings. That's what starters have to do.
We won a lot more games than we lost when I was down there, and that was the goal, ... I went down there to try and help seal a leak and patch a hole. I'd like to think I did that for the most part. I mean, I certainly didn't pitch as well as I would have liked, but we played well and won games while I was down there.
I used all my pitches like I did as a starter and we located well. I had good command and I pitched.
Everything is normal. And I guess I'm making normal seem really damn exciting right now, but after last year, normal is a really cool thing for me.
Both of these teams went through a lot this year. To be where we are says as much about the people as it does about the talent.
