I'm way better. I'm trying to get the leg strong. I hope to be back soon. Maybe 10 more days. |
I've been around for 12 years in this kind of situation. |
It was real important for us to come from behind, ... The young guys are showing us what they can do. Matheny had a great throw -- a perfect throw. I saw the out and said, 'Thank you!' |
It's good those players are recognized, because it means a lot for all of them, and for the Latin players in the Negro Leagues. We are grateful for them. Baseball has gone through cycles, and times change, and this has been coming for a long time. |
It's important [to come back after Friday] because it's part of my job. This is what it's all about. I'm proud of what I do -- it's important that [Bonds] is starting to hit the ball out of the field and important for everybody. It's great. |
It's more complicated with hitters, but I felt fine. |
Of course I can now do most of my regular stuff. Right now I have everything on my mind (for the season). |
Right now, we're behind seven games. We have a good chance to get it done. The young guys are showing what they can do. |
See? That's what I'm talking about. How many times have I pitched in the playoffs? I've been there. (Edgardo) Alfonzo has been there. Mo Alou has been there. We have good players here, veteran players. |
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. There's nothing I can do. |
We still have a shot, and we have plenty of time to catch up to San Diego. We still have a chance to win and the motivation is there. We try to do our best and that's what I always do. |
We've seen that a lot, and I don't blame him. Did you see that ball he hit in the fourth? |
