love oh shadows sun town wall
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down, Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
audience dropped energy enjoy kids mix older people
The skew of the audience has probably dropped 10 years, ... Older people don't have the spontaneity and the energy. You mix in 15-percent young kids and the older people enjoy the show more.
extra forward opening pitch possibly privilege year
Every year that I'm here it's an honor. To possibly pitch opening day, without a doubt, is an extra privilege and it's something I look forward to.
decent inside
You always want to second-guess yourself to a point. I think it was a decent pitch. I would like to have it a little more inside and not give up a hit.
balls beat good gotten ground knew liked loved stuff wanting
I wasn't very good in getting the ground balls I would have liked to have gotten today. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on. I would have loved to have done better without a doubt, Just like they wanted to beat me, they knew I was wanting to beat them, too.
anyone chance dreamed far fortunate guy leagues liking major minor people ways
My career's pretty much a major fluke. I probably wasn't the guy that was expected, or should have been in the big leagues or even the minor leagues when I first started. I was very fortunate in a lot of ways having people take a liking or just a chance on me. I've benefited by far more than anyone could have ever dreamed of.
ball doubt easy forget great ground hit shift
I thought it was an easy ground ball because I forget we had that big shift on. That's without a doubt the softest he's ever going to hit a ground ball off me, but Carlos made a great play.

I'm here to help them in any way. They can't do anything that I haven't done on the mound.

He's a dead-pull hitter. Leave it to me to get him to go the other way with what I throw.
appreciate behind defense great played
Carlos was outstanding. They played great behind me, and I appreciate that probably more than any other pitcher, because I need my defense more than most.
average doubt forget great guy jump level player seen star steroids
Basically, steroids can jump you a level or two. The average player can become a star, and the star player can become a superstar, and the superstar? Forget it. He can do things we've never seen before. You take a guy who already has great hand-eye coordination and make him stronger, and without a doubt he'll be better.
deserve forget handle last sure
I didn't deserve that. I can handle it, but I won't forget it. I'm pretty sure this is my last year.
continue game location sets
My location was good. That sets up the whole game if I can get in and out. If I can continue to do that, I'll be consistent.
