en We were about to go oh-for-April. I remember the night before, Frank Robinson talking to Mark Williamson and I and saying Mark was going to start the game and pitch six and I was going to pitch after him for three and get this nonsense over with. And that's the way it went.

en We hope sometime in April _ but again, as long as there's no setbacks. We don't want to get into a Mark Prior/Kerry Wood thing where it's a day-to-day 'watch.' It's better where we're guarded in talking about it until we get to the point where he's going to go out and pitch in games.

en Mark has been very communicative with Mota on how to pitch these hitters. Rather than me go out and try to explain how we wanted it done, I wanted Mark to tell Mota exactly how we were going to pitch to [Lee], that we had an open base and we weren't going to give in to him.

en It's something we thought about as long as two months ago. We didn't expect Dan to come in and wear No. 21 and pitch like Mark Mulder. He's done a tremendous job. I guess it's fitting he picked up where Mark left off.

en We've gotten away from looking at the process of the game. We start looking at the big picture, and we start thinking about (winning all the games in a series). Right now we're blowing this up way too big, and that's what we did during the (losing streak). We need to play the game pitch by pitch.

en Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. [Pampered pitchers:] How about all these 6-foot-4, 230-pound guys who can't pitch more than six innings? ... How about the nonsense of 'pitch counts?'

en This is one of those lessons in life. You can't do anything about rumors. I expect Mark to be fine. Mark wasn't one that we wanted to trade. [Baltimore] asked for Mark. We didn't volunteer Mark. If you look over baseball, Willie Mays got traded, Hank Aaron got traded. I'm glad Mark wasn't traded.

en It's a shame. That's as well as we've seen Mark pitch in a long time.

en It's going to be a tremendous honor. He's in too good of shape for this to be his last start, but I could be wrong and he won't pitch another game. But it isn't because he can't pitch.

en Mark has a great reputation for developing players and forming relationships with players. He has good character, and other coaches that I have spoken with have nothing but high praise for Mark. His familiarity with Frank and the offense here will help with the transition, and we can be better faster because of his knowledge.

en Mark Twain told jokes, but they somehow stayed funny for a hundred years; they're still funny today. When Mark Twain said, 'He was a good man in the worst sense of the word,' we know exactly what he's talking about. When he said 'Wagner's music is not as bad as it sounds,' it still is funny. Mark Twain was really a miracle.

en Zito has pitched a lot of good games, but I know if I've ever seen him pitch a better game. Everything was working for him. Bart matched him pitch for pitch, but we couldn't come up with any offense.

en The pitch to Reyes was the make-it or break-it pitch of the game. He beat our defense because I made a bad pitch.

en We had six kids start and pitch well during the trip. Trevor (Powers) and Ricky (Leclerc) pitched very well and we received two quality starts from Will (Waldrop). Erik (Morrison) picked up a win, Mark Bulger was impressive and Patrick (Driscoll), despite being the victim of the defense against Western Connecticut, was very effective.

en It is a pitch I have to throw. It is a feel pitch. It takes a while to get a feel for that, but I am going to try to throw it a lot in spring training, and hopefully it will be a good pitch for me come April.
