It was a 4-2 road trip I was looking at it. I forgot all about it. One thousand wins means you've been around a while and you've had a few good teams.
Actually, I wouldn't mind another week down here. Not to play games, but just to work on fundamentals. We didn't win many games, but, maybe just in the last week, we started looking a little better. Before that, we looked terrible.
I was looking at Patterson and I had the feeling that he wasn't right, ... I didn't like his mannerisms on the mound. Since he didn't say anything, I thought he was OK and he would get himself straightened out.
If you want to be realistic, you say, 'What would it take? A miracle.' Well, miracles happen. Not too often, but they do happen once in a while. But, realistically, yeah, we're looking at it, and probably it's insurmountable.
I'm looking forward to when it counts to see how this team reacts. I think we'll handle it very well.
I'm just on the side looking at it, the runs are going up on the board. But I don't know what it is or why.
When a guy is maybe on the lower end of the pain threshold, we have a tendency to maybe be a little critical of him and say what he should do and what he should be able to do. All I know is an individual knows himself and he knows what he is able to handle as far as pain is concerned.
We have to do whatever it takes right now, ... That's our rallying cry: whatever it takes. We have to put it together now. We can't win one, lose one, win one, lose two.
We had the ballgames. They were our ballgames to win, and we didn't finish them off.

We chose not to give him an MRI. The physicals should include everything.
We certainly know we're going to lose him for the next two to three weeks, that's for sure. And with that type of absence from spring training, there's no way he can open the season.
It would be water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.
It was the situation, and I understood. Still, to get into December without a contract, it gets a little worrisome.
