I got from him that he was interested or would be open to it, and then I just left it to Brian.
If you are going to split at home the best way to do it is to win the second game.
If we win this game, ... regardless of what anybody else does, we're home for the first round and, in all likelihood, will be with the Angels, and that's going coast to coast, so we have a stake in this thing, too.
If that happened in the postseason, ... it'd be on Page 1 of every paper.
If it rains, that's one thing. Now if it doesn't stop -- then we've got an issue.
He wins 10 games and give you the final score, too, ... How much better can it get?
He's cool. He's having a good time. He just really told people a lot more with this last start than we learned since he came over from Colorado. Obviously, we needed every bit of it. Now we can reunite with Moose again because we haven't seen him in about five days.
He's come up in situations and you say,
He's chomping at the bit to do more than we're letting him do.
He has a great deal of talent and makes a lot of money. I think there's a lot of jealousy out there.
He had to have butterflies tonight. There's no question. But I thought he dealt with it really well.
He had that one stretch where he got a little wild, but as far as pitching it was a little unusual. Once he got working from the stretch he didn't seem as comfortable.
He hasn't been an All-American out. Flaherty hit a very important sacrifice fly the other day against (Tim) Wakefield. His batting average doesn't show it, but he's still able to do some things for us.
He has not had one bit of problems throwing.
