I anticipate he'll be able to play this week sometime.
But we understand what they did to us last time.
Bubba, with his younger legs, ... covers more ground.
Bubba showed some signs. It took a little time for Donnie (Mattingly) to convince me that he was a different hitter. Again, he's not a world-beater but the fact he's made some adjustments offensively certainly made him an option in postseason play and in important games down the stretch, which never would have been an option before.

One thing I'll say here. I'm not going to waste my time talking about negative things. We won a ballgame 9-8. I'm not here to start beating on people, especially the people that, if we expect to win, are going to get us there.
Luis got a little too aggressive in sending Matsui, especially on the turf where you get the ball quickly. We dodged a bullet.
Lou isn't someone who is going to sit around and wait for time to march on. He's a very animated, passionate guy about what he does, and he takes a lot of pride in what he does. I give him a lot of credit after the bad first half that they had, to have the second half that they've had. That's all credited to his keeping their attention.
Scott Boras, I've known for a long time. We were both in the Cardinals organization. I'm a lot older than Scott. He's a very tough man, very tough agent.
Mike is very responsible, I think you all know that, so I'm not really concerned about the fact that he'll be ready to pitch.
I have a feeling I'm going to make all the phone calls. I'm not going to hesitate doing that, because I learned my lesson last year. I don't call him because I need to get support; I just think it's important to stay up to date.
We've never been intimidated by the road. We're as set psychologically as we could be.
