I was on edge as much as anyone. As you've seen already in this tournament, anything can happen.
I wasn't thinking about that. It's just good to see Andy going strong. And he had just enough tonight, which was good to see.
I worry more about the man's health than I do about him hitting home runs or whatever this witch hunt we're on.
My body feels great, arm feels good. I just need the conditioning with my legs. When I have a little extra-long session here, like I was able to throw BP and simulate a couple of hitters, it helps a lot.

You can believe that. We'll see what happens. Whatever, I plan to be around Arlington a lot in the future.
Winter is a terrific time to enjoy foods of fiber, color and flavor. These foods are rich in fiber, B-vitamins, minerals, and may contain good sources of protein.
You knew when it got late, Phil looked at me, ... There's been three or four times throughout the year he asked me how I felt I was swinging the bat or if got my spikes handy. I didn't think he was serious, and he probably wasn't. But the look that he gave me this time was very serious, and there was no kidding about it. And so I got out to the bullpen.
We have an 18-year-old who is doing this now, is embarking on his career. And I've got three more behind him that care far more that I see them hit a ball or make a big tackle than go out here and shake hands.
Maybe, I'm the Grim Reaper, ... I miss a start and we scored 10 runs.
I'm happy for all these kids, ... Just like I told our guys, the other guys in the clubhouse, hopefully it won't be for a few more weeks, but when I do look back on these years here, it's been a privilege to play with these professionals.
I was just sitting back letting him enjoy it over there, ... What else can you do?
I was just sitting back and letting him enjoy it over there, ... I mean, what else can you do? It was a very hittable pitch. Guys on this level, whether they're 21 or 41, are going to hit that. And he took advantage of it. I've given up some home runs, I'm sure, in my career. But it was probably pretty exciting for that kid.
I think steroids are great for my mother because she needs them. To keep her health. I think they hurt the athletes. They make us break down and do too many things. We've already gone through the proper channels to be tested and to clean it up and, so, we're on our way to do it.
