It took me a long time, ... I was pressing a little too hard, but tonight I just tried to go out there and relax. It feels good to go out there and give a good performance. My last couple have been poor, and it was weighing on me. It's no fun to be in a pennant race and not giving the team quality starts, so I was glad to turn it around tonight. |

It was a good year to be a free agent as a pitcher. There was a lot of teams seeking pitching. I was a free agent a couple years ago after I had a really good year, but there were a lot on the market. This year there wasn't very many out there, so everybody's stock rose. |
It was a tremendous play. I thought for sure it was out of the park, then I saw that he had a line on it and I thought he was going to play it off the wall. I really didn't think he would get to it. |
It was a very frustrating day in that way. My team would pick me up and I would go out and walk somebody. I can't say enough about how we played today. |
It was emotional for me putting on this uniform at Jacobs Field. To finally be able to do that meant a lot. I didn't pitch my best today, but everyone was great to me. I promise I'll give them a lot more to cheer about down the road. |
It was good to see Vladdy get his 300th, |
It was one of those days where you wake up and the room is dark, and you say where am I? But it beats sitting home on the couch watching. |
It was phenomenal to get that type of run support. You only get that two or three times a year, so it was nice that they were able to pick me up. I appreciated that. |
It wasn't until the fifth inning that I struck somebody out. So the balls were going to be flying around so it was important the way the guys gave effort and made plays. |
It's only four games, we can't cruise. What we didn't want to do is press. And so far, we haven't pressed. |
It's tough when your team comes out and scores like that for you, and then you give up a walk and a home run. It's frustrating. But I can't say enough about how we played. That kind of run support is just phenomenal. |
It's very gratifying to me, ... My career hasn't gone exactly like I would like it to with the (Tommy John) surgery (in 2003), so it's gratifying to be on this team. |
It's weird pitching in Cleveland with a Cleveland uniform on. |
Just amazing. I've never seen anyone score that quickly from second. |
