carry everybody fact game nobody plays rely team time type year
Everybody did something, and that's a big part of our team this year -- the fact that we're going to rely on everybody and nobody has to carry the load. To be able to see that type of game the first time out, where everybody's doing something, everybody's involved, that really plays into what we need to do all year.
chance family felt five full last pass since talked time
Since I've been here, it's felt like a family for me. It's the chance to be here for another five years that I didn't want to pass up. Everything we talked about last time -- about what the organization wanted to do -- it's come full circle. All of that's happened.
arm felt good longer next pitches problems threw time today
I threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time. I felt great, there were no problems out there today at all, and I feel good about the arm and should be able to go longer next time out.

We're kind of at the point where we're starting to get over that rebuilding ... so it's time we started getting it done, getting ourselves into the playoffs.

I had some time off to rest and haven't had any problems ever since then. It's kind of disappeared this winter so that's nice.
bit bullpen decided loosen next seemed seventh skip start time
I had a little bit (of tightness) going into the first start. It was okay. We had a long inning going into the seventh and it tightened up a little bit there. But it wasn't bad. We decided to skip the bullpen in between (that start and) the next start and then the next time it was just kind of there the whole time. It never seemed to go away and loosen up.
games later obviously running time toughest
Any time we did any of those running exercises, it was obviously the toughest part for me. Simulated games later on got a little tough.
boston edge good johnson last randy sign suited time wild win yankees
The way Randy Johnson pitched his last time out was a good sign for New York. I've got to give the Yankees the edge in the wild card, Boston is better suited to win the division.
compete excited felt fun good happy innings pitches regardless threw time
I've always felt comfortable location-wise, regardless of how much time I've had in between (starts). It's just fun to go out and compete again. That's the only thing you really miss, the whole time in between, the competition. I felt great, real happy the whole time out. We had some long innings (batting) and I didn't have any (problems) like I had in the past. I'm excited going forward, threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time.
certain learning player point starts works
With every player there's a certain point where it all starts to click. A lot of it is just learning yourself and what works for you.
everybody good guys intention personal ready spot takes team themselves trying winning
You have a lot of guys who have kind of been there and know what it takes to have a winning team. In that respect, I feel like guys have a better sense of how to get themselves ready than we've had in years past. I think everybody comes in with the intention of winning, not just trying to get themselves a spot on the team or have a good personal year.

Even in the spring when they had so many pitchers at an advanced age I wondered about how they would do,
