Once I got taken out, I gave high-fives to everybody on the offense. I said, 'Thanks for picking me up.
It's nice to start opening day and then I can get my ring and enjoy it.
Any time your team wins, everybody else wants to go out and beat the best. We were the best last year, so everybody is gunning for us. It is going to be a little scary. I want everybody to pick us fourth again so we can surprise some people.
That might be the play of the year. Unbelievable.
The faster you work, the better off you're going to be, ... I just don't see any reason to go out there and waste time. Just get out there and throw the ball.
I like to get out in the woods as much as I can to get my mind away from baseball and kind of get away from everything. It's nice to get out there and listen to everything, the wildlife and the smells.
I knew I had to settle down. I knew we wouldn't score a lot off Burnett.
I really can't say I had playoff experience. Now being in the majors five years consecutively (as a starter), I think just being out there on the mound and being in pressure situations help.
St. Louis has a better offense, but Houston has a better pitching staff. Either way you look at it, it's not going to be easy.
Down in the bullpen everything was working for me. Pretty much in that situation, you got the Adrenalin going and if your arm is hurting or whatever, once you get on the mound. ... I was pretty loose. I can throw 15 or 20 pitches and be ready to go.
Ever since the All-Star break, it seems like I haven't had too many good games. It's frustrating. We've still got six games with Cleveland. And the way that they're playing, they could sweep us right now. If we keep on playing like we're playing, we're not going to the playoffs. We'll be home on Oct. 3.
It was probably one of the best games of my career. We found my changeup in the middle innings and in the seventh and eighth innings I made a couple of key pitches and had a ground ball and a couple of outs. But it was one of the best games of my career.

It's funny. In the spring, a lot of people had us finishing fourth or fifth in our division. Some people had Detroit finishing ahead of us, and a couple had Kansas City finishing ahead of us. It just shows you the way our guys came out and didn't care what people thought.
