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.
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.
We've reached the point where we need to start being responsible for winning and losing and start moving past the development stage,
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.
For us to get into it, we have to find ways to win games like today. That's the biggest thing for me. Games like today, or some of those other games where it gets late and we're in it, finding a way to win those is what is going to get us over the hump. We have to get that going. Hopefully throughout the season, we'll win those close games.
That doesn't bother me, someone who has pitched the whole season should win it, not someone who pitched for three months,
We got to happy, but for us to get into it we got to find ways to win games like that. Finding a way to win it -- that's what is going to get us over the hump. That will make the difference.
In May, the sixth and seventh inning comes and you are familiar with it. You don't feel tired. It makes a big difference.
They've got a tough lineup. They make you work, regardless of what the score is. It just seems like they have long at-bats, somehow they get on base and it's one of those games where I was pitching out of a lot of jams.
After three weeks in a cast he was back running stairs and after 10 weeks he was back in a cast,
It was nice, especially for him. We're pretty similar and it was good to be able to tell him what we have here and to have a couple guys on a staff that you get along with well is nice. I was excited about it just to have a chance to be involved with that process.
It stopped a big inning. It kept us in striking distance and gave us a chance to pile up some runs.
It's been good clubhouse-wise and that always helps. Later on we'll get everyone in there in the same lineup and it will be fun.
It was nice to have that peace of mind. It's something I don't think we would have had done if (not for the insurance).
