It showed. It's just of those things. He's trying to make a play. It's a tough play. You don't want a kid getting hurt. I'm just glad it's not anything more serious.
It's been a pretty interesting week, ... First it was one thing, then another. I didn't know what was going on.
ball blind chance good knew left needed
It's kind of a blind flip. I just needed to get the ball to him, because I knew we had a good chance of getting Berkman. I kind of left it out there a little bit, but I knew I had to keep it outside.

It's a relief. I was worried about it two days ago, but I'm feeling much better. I'm going to go out there and do some light work today and hopefully I won't feel a whole lot. Hopefully I won't feel anything at all.

A lot of people were waiting for us to fail. That's all you heard: his arm and my injuries. I think we've done a pretty good job. But I'm sure there's still somebody out there who would disagree.
