It takes two. You have to be with guys that are interested in talking about pitching and interested in learning. There's a chance for me to learn as well. There's a lot of different ways to skin a cat. But those are a good group of guys. |
It was a pivotal time in my career, and fortunately for me, he was interested in me. That says a lot about him. ... I still watch video of him. I still learn from him. Just odds and ends, whatever I can pick up. |
It was just fun. It was one of the few times I remember as a Big Leaguer where you can actually enjoy the moment and feel and have fun. |
It?s a really neat thing, and then it?s over. Like anything else - starting Game One of the playoffs or the first game of the second half - it?s cool, it?s a big deal. And then it?s over. With the way this staff is set up, I don?t know if it?s as meaningful as the past, because there?s potentially a couple of No. 1?s in this rotation. By the end of the year, hopefully that will bear itself out. |
It?s disappointing. I feel bad. Hopefully, it?s something he?s at peace with. He?s a classy guy, I wish him the best. |
It's a loss. I can't search for things and try to figure things out at the expense of this ball club. Not now. Not in August. Not with a 2 1/2-game lead. Tonight was a night when I certainly had the stuff to win and just did not execute. |
It's always been you [reporters]. That's what you do, unfortunately. It's one of those things that you just can't understand. You can only go by the numbers. It's how it works here. |
It's cool. It's an electric day. It's a lot of fun. I just want it to get here more than anything. |

It's little things, just tying up loose ends, |
It's no mystery what he wants and I think that (the Red Sox ) are going to do what they can do to make sure that happens. |
It's power. Power is something that every human being likes to have in some form. You stand up there and you know you're throwing a fastball. The hitter knows you're throwing a fastball, and the fans know, and you still throw the ball by him? Well, it doesn't feel bad. |
It's September. We're playing to win, |
It's something special. I just want to be a part of it ... |
