She's not doing well enough to be here,
My legs felt fine, ... I still need to get a little more strength in my lower half, but I think Jim Hickey, our pitching coach, and the skipper were happy with the way I was getting out over my front leg. So it makes a big difference; without the burning sensation in my leg, it was a lot nicer. My control was still off, and I think that was what was aggravating me a little early.
My arm feels good but it's taking longer to get my legs in shape than I thought. I'm going to wait until after the (Classic) games to make that decision.
Now, we sit back and watch Roy do his thing.
Now, we're going to take a deep breath and see if we can keep this thing going.
We're looking at that game square in our eyes right now. That's the most important thing we've got going. So, you know, you didn't want any extra added pressure on Brandon.
We're conditioned to do this. This is what we do. I'm just excited to have the opportunity again.
I have met with a number of teams. But right now my thoughts are geared to the World Baseball Classic and to be effective for these games. After the games, I'll make a decision on that (his future).
If I'm going to make a decision at all, that would be the time frame. I'm still enjoying what we did last year.
If I'm going to get out here and decide to do this again, I'd have to really commit to it. That's as far as I'm thinking about right now.
I felt fine. It was nice to get everything underway. It was neat getting back out there, seeing the fans and getting into a baseball atmosphere.
I feel very blessed that she's at peace now. The last 10 years were hard on her, the last 2-3 days were grueling, ... But she was very tough to the end. She didn't want to give up.
We've put ourselves in a great situation, and have a wonderful chance,
there are a handful of us that are a bit older and might not get that chance again.
