decision gotten hurt ready single talked
We talked about it; they didn't make the decision on their own. I'm not going to be able to go (today), so if I'm not ready to go, it will only hurt the team. It's a day-to-day process. It's gotten better every single day.
fast might ready seemed time
It seemed like he's done it a lot of times. It might have only been 10 throws, 15 throws, but he warmed up pretty fast and he was ready. He was ready a long time before we went out.
amount catcher far last means playing ready starting three time
I'm ready to play right now. I said I'm ready, and that means I'm ready to play every day. ... As far as I know, I'm the starting catcher and I'll get the amount of playing time that I've had the last three years, and that's what I expect.
expect mixed stuff
It was unbelievable. That's what we all expect him to be. He had a lot of giddy-up on his fastball. We mixed in his off-speed stuff after he established the fastball.

Everything is as expected. There's no pain, but we still have to get the swelling out so I can squat.

I think he's going to have an unbelievable year. He's going to shock a lot of people.

I'm hoping to make Opening Day. They said basically 10 days would be a normal person, and I'm hoping to make it in seven. That's obviously if we have no setbacks or anything like that.

If we keep playing the way we are and keep winning, there is no reason to think we will not be up over .500 by the end of the season. We are really looking forward to this final month.

I was surprised to see Sanchez trying to steal, especially because of the score (3-2), the fact he already was in scoring position at second and they had their No. 1 hitter in Jason Bay at the plate.
almost dealing full pain range swelling trying
Basically, all of the pain and everything is gone. It's just dealing with the swelling and trying to get it out of there from the surgery. The only thing that the swelling hinders is just range of motion. As of right now, I almost have full range of motion.
pitching wins
It's pitching and defense. That's what wins games.

It just got away from us in two innings. They scored a bunch of runs and scored some runs when they needed them.
business care casey consider game leader
I try to play the game the right way, or the old way, as I consider it. I'll just go and take care of business and try to be a leader like (Sean) Casey was.
