The guy is a gift from God, ... To be able to get a Cy Young at 42 years old, to have an ERA under two at 43 years old, that's mind-boggling. It's ridiculous, really.
The ultimate goal is to be the last team under the pile.
All in all, it was all right. The disappointment of the game got back real quick.
The last one cut. I felt all right the whole at-bat, the whole night, but I swung at a couple of high fastballs. I didn't do a good job of getting the ball down. He's a guy who just comes in and throws hard stuff. With a guy like that, you've got to get it going, because decisions have to be made fast or it's sayonara.

I'm sure they'd like me to see live pitching before I jump in there after three months. We'd have to see if it coordinates with Round Rock and, more importantly, if my shoulder coordinates with that.
I'm more of a cheerleader now, but I get to put on my spikes, ... It means a lot to me.
I'm just ready to go, ... Adrenaline is going to take over anyway, so I'll be fine.
But you have to be a little nervous with men on first and second and two outs in the ninth.
I'll be more than willing, ... Adrenaline will take a lot of pain out of my shoulder.
I figured it was by the end of the week.
I certainly didn't feel in the beginning of the year that this was going to be the year, ... But it's amazing what some pitching and a bunch of guys working together can do.
