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.
I can't imagine he would throw at him, otherwise, he would ... get himself thrown out of one of the most important games of his career.
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.
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.
What I took out there is not going to get it done, ... I need to obviously be sharper, a lot sharper than what I took out there. Just too many walks.
What I featured tonight is not going to get it done. It doesn't matter who you're facing because it's not going to get it done.
What I featured out there is not good enough to get it done. It just seemed like I was pitching out of the stretch a lot. I tried to battle and make pitches and be as stingy as I could ... but they broke it open.
As soon as I climbed on the mound, I was lost a little bit, ... I knew I had to gather it up pretty quick and get through that.
It's just disappointing, ... I don't like coming out of those and putting Brad in that situation. I know he loves those situations, too. But when it doesn't work out ... you hate to come out on the short end of it.
It seems like days ago when Lance and Brad went deep.
