benefit calls worry
I didn't get the benefit of any calls in the first. Having been through this so many times in this park, you don't worry about it.
came early heard knowing phrase question thrown
Obviously, I came in here knowing that it was an important game. I've heard the do-or-die phrase thrown around a little bit. I think it's too early for that, but it's no question that it was an important game.
game great people understand
Most people don't understand the game. But even if you don't understand the game and you go to the arena, you still have a great time. It's just a great experience.
assuming bad bullpen five healthy innings might
Let's be honest, Pedro for five innings is better than no Pedro at all. With the way our bullpen is going to be structured, having a day off Tuesday, it might not be so bad to have him out there for only five innings -- assuming he's healthy and that's the most important thing.
capable everybody games healthy pitch win
If I'm healthy and pitch the way I'm capable of, I can't see why I can't do 15 (wins). If we're going to win, everybody has to play to their expectations and the expectations are to win more games when I'm on the mound.
dress fair form gave great grief hard less nowadays played teammates three
We gave him grief about everything. We always got on him about his physique, which is less than intimidating. How he'd dress sometimes. All that stuff. He was fair game. He played the game, and he gave it back. That was part of the great thing there, for the three of us to be able to be teammates as long as we were, to form a great friendship. Nowadays in baseball, that's hard to do.
article beyond chance explain himself issues john portrayed
There are issues that go beyond some of the things said in that article. John should have a chance to explain himself and show that the way he was portrayed in the article was not his real mindset.
business conversation deny far needs people public reaction remain situation took
Without having read it, being told what was in the newspaper, I'm not going to deny that that conversation took place. But that's it. That's a business situation that should remain between the people that were involved. As far as my reaction to it, I really don't have one. I think the only reaction is that I don't really think it's something that needs to be public knowledge.
age guys longer mean playing secret
We all want to know what his secret is. But you know, who's to say what old is anymore? A lot of guys are playing longer than they ever thought they would, myself included. Age doesn't mean what it used to in baseball.
best came gives pitch rather
This was the best one I've had. That's why I came over here rather than pitch in a minor-league game. It gives me a better sense of where I am.
running
We were running out of outs. You don't get a lot of opportunities.
good guys name pitching style trying
We're trying to make a name for the 40-and-older crowd. It's good to see guys with our style of pitching still doing it and doing pretty well.
bit both games threw tough
Both of us threw well. He threw a little bit better. It's one of those games that's tough to lose.
concerned great less number
It's more about a number than anything else. I feel great and because of that, I'm less concerned about (my age).
