losing pitcher
I was the losing pitcher in that game, and it was the same score.
division expect forward looking second
We're looking forward to getting back out there for the second series, and we expect to do better than what we did in the Division Series.
good round
I won't say the first round was good for our bullpen,
ball came double facing ground guy looking since single thinking
I was thinking double play since I came from the bullpen, ... Facing a guy like Derrek Lee, I was looking for the ground ball, but I wasn't looking for that ground ball up the middle. To me, when that ball went by me, I thought it was a single up the middle.
coming move nobody saw threw tried
I wasn't angry; I just saw his reaction. He tried to get up off the ground, and he said, 'Hey man!' I saw his move when he was coming up. I threw a punch. That was it. I'm fine. Nobody got hurt, I believe.
appreciate great guy man
Just a lot of memories, you know? But Jose Mesa has been such a great guy to me. I really appreciate him. He's a great man, a great guy. The man has a big heart.
gets hear punch saw throw throws whoever
I saw him try to get up and I wasn't going to let him throw a punch at me right away. You hear about whoever throws the first punch gets the win. That's what happened.
against care job pitch score
We have to pitch better. I have to pitch better. I don't care what the score is when we come into the game. Our job is to get outs. We didn't always do that against the Padres.
mall people recognize
(When) I go to the mall and out to eat, people still recognize me, ... Every Sunday, when I go to church, they recognize me and look at me like, 'Gosh what is he doing here? He doesn't play for us anymore.' People tell me, 'Why don't you get away from here, it's too cold. I say, 'No, it's the only place I know my way out and my way in.'
gave
We gave up runs, but we didn't really give up anything,
choice five hand numb pitch shots
It was my choice. I wanted to be able to pitch. They said they could give you shots to numb it and you'll be able to pitch and I said OK. The hand is fine, I still have five fingers, I just don't think about it.
city drive fans hard hours oh outside seen stadium town waiting
Oh my gosh, the town went crazy, ... I've never seen anything like that in my life. It was hard just getting in and out of downtown. There would be 40,000 fans outside the stadium waiting to get in hours before the game. You couldn't even drive in the city sometimes. It was crazy.
happened parking yelling
They were yelling at me. They were like, 'Let's go one-on-one on the parking lot.' I'm not here to fight, man. What happened has happened, and it's over.
might mike parking wait
You try to fight, you're Mike Tyson. He's a fighter, not me. He might wait for them in the parking lot. Not me.
