hit hurt putting spots walk
My walk really killed us, ... I didn't hit my spots with Posada and that really hurt me, putting Cano on second.
five great late makeup pitches plus tough
He's got five plus pitches and great makeup on the mound. That's pretty tough for hitters, especially in late innings.
coming far sit tough week
You know, it's been a pretty tough week on us with the schedule, but it's something that we like. We like to travel, especially coming out here, and we're still playing. As far as a much-needed day off, I think most of us are going to just sit around and rest.
rotation starters starting team
The starters are what make our team better. Our starting rotation is a lot better than what it was in 2002 -and you've got a right fielder who makes us a little better, too.
came everybody game guys happy hard hear locker night serious single took word
I know every single one of those guys was happy to be there and was happy to join. I know that word will get out to other guys that this is something you want to do. I tell you what, we took it serious. The game the other night when we lost, you didn't hear a word in the locker room. Everybody was disappointed. We took it serious and went out there hard but we just came up short.

I'm different than a lot of pitchers. He hit a game-winning home run. Hey, you beat me. You can do what you want.
game head hit left middle mistake paid plate win
I left that one over the middle of the plate and he hit it real far. I can't let him win the game like that. I made a mistake and paid for it. I want to get back out there (tonight) to keep my head up.
eighth fine francisco happy job man perfectly pitching rest setup watching
I'm happy where I'm at right now pitching the seventh, eighth inning ... doing my job and then watching Francisco (Rodriguez) come in and do his job. I'll be his setup man for the rest of my career. That's fine with me. I'm perfectly fine where I am.
I'm going to be smart. This is my team. If I'm not 100 percent, I'm going to let them know.
best hits home strange wish work
It's going to be a little strange to see him in another uniform. It hits home right there that it's a business. He put in a lot of work for this team, so you wish him all the best but not on Wednesday.
experience good overall
It was a real good time. I had a blast. I didn't want to be back here this early, but the overall experience was good.
arm dead next recognize sooner time
After I tightened that up, my dead arm went away. Hopefully, I'll recognize that sooner the next time it happens.
execute might perfect point work
You can see it on video, and someone might even point what you're doing. You still have to go out and perfect it and work on it and execute the pitch. You find a way to get it done.
