believe gets glad innings leagues needed pitching shot situation
I'm glad for Tyler. He's in the big leagues and he gets a shot at pitching more innings than he did with us. I believe he needed to pitch more, and that would not have been the situation here.
bad competition face fiery leagues minor reduced
He's a fiery type. When we had him in the minor leagues in Montreal, he was in competition with everybody, the umpires, the opposing teams. He reduced that a lot. I like Milton. Too bad we still have to face him.
guys
In Montreal, we let the young guys pitch,
announcing games saved
I'm not announcing anything, but Timmy saved 38 games for us in 2003.
guys hoping
I know there were a lot of guys that were hoping that this guy wouldn't play.
brian somebody
I know we're going to get somebody else. Brian is a real go-getting guy.
maybe retired roger twice
I know Roger Clemens has retired twice already. Maybe that's the way it's going to be.
bit happy liked
I liked what I saw, and I'm happy what he did. He was a little bit wild.
barry forward heard looking nice
I'm looking forward to him being here tomorrow. It was nice to see not-quite-everyone out there. I don't know why Barry isn't here. I heard 'personal matters' like everyone else.
check days foot home sore trainer
It's still sore and I can even see a little favoring it at home plate. He's hurting. The trainer (Stan Conte) recommends rest, and after those days off they'll check his foot again.

early needs
It's so early and he needs his at-bats and we need his at-bats.
best
The best part is winning. But if you lose, you know you've got 161 left. Sometimes that can be good, and sometimes that can be bad.
bad bit full
It's not a big deal. It's not his bad knee. He'll be OK. ... It will just take him a little bit to get back to full strength.
