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.
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.

Everything felt good. This is the first time I've been healthy in two years, and going out there to compete with nothing on your mind but your stuff is a real different feeling for me right now.
(Blanton's) been throwing the ball great. It felt like it was going to be a tight game, and then I gave up two runs in about two minutes before anybody's even sitting in their seats.
I wanted to create jobs and create something that had a very longstanding world-changing effect. We were close. We were close to getting there. It just fell apart.
