We were like two tired old men walking out of the tunnel, and then we were like two kids having a good time. We were holding each other up.
When I step away from the game, our game is in good hands. We have some good, young talented players, everyday guys, and definitely pitchers. He's right there at the top of the list. You feel you pass the baton along to the next generation of guys. I think the fans out here will enjoy this kid for a long time.
These are really good games, fun to pitch in and fun to battle in, but I wish they'd come out on our side a little more often.
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 was trying to find some rhythm after my last start, throwing my last two innings with just my arm, ... This time around I was trying to get the mechanics down and get good pitches, and I wasn't able to do it.
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.
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.
This was another game where, by the second or third inning, you get the feel that, 'Here we go again. You want to have good stuff and make good pitches. Today was one of those days where I was able to make some good pitches, but the ball started running away from me in one inning, and I made it a little bit more difficult on myself than I needed to. Overall, it was a battle.
The process was long and hard on me. When everybody was out having a good time, I'm running trying to get my body ready.
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.
Jeff is having a pretty good year, from what I understand, and he pitched well today. He had a tremendous breaking ball and was able to spot his fastball. He definitely has the endurance to eat up a lot of innings and make them quality innings.
He's come a long way since we were teammates in Toronto. He was a good pitcher then. Obviously, he has far more experience now.
He was a good pitcher then, and obviously he's more experienced now. He's doing a real fine job.
I just go to the ballpark and watch as the media buzz around me. Especially if the Red Sox are playing. I hang out on the field before the game. I visit the clubhouses. The rumors start flying like base hits off one of those South African pitchers we faced in the World Baseball Classic. Good times.
