I wouldn't be as confident (pitching Opening Day) if I don't get in a game. But if (my finger) is healthy it doesn't matter. |
I'll play catch and see where we go from there. |
I'm always nervous, no matter where I'm at. I'm excited. ... I'm excited about this team. |
I'm excited about the opportunity. I expect great things. |
I'm sure I'll be treated the same way everyone else is. I'll be heckled. The fans there are passionate. They're going to think I ran to the money - which I guess they would have passed up - but I get heckled in every park. It's part of the game. |
I'm very concerned about those subjected to storm surge. |
I've been fighting for [a permanent location] for 25 years now. |
I've done everything I can do to be ready for it. Physically, I just don't think it's there. A lot of guys can turn it up. I can't. |
I've matured a lot. You can only stay mad so long. I think (his childhood) helped me to see how not to do it the right way and to try to do it better when I get a chance. |
If Pat had gotten there earlier, I think he could have gotten something done. He didn't have much time. |
If they don't get out of there, they're going to be in deep trouble. |
If you throw that many pitches, you're not doing well anyway. |
If you?d like I can call Mariano and we can discuss it and see if I can get his blessing. I can?t wait to talk to Mariano because I know he?s going to be laughing about it. |
In spring training, I'm always bad. |
It says a lot about your team. We do have a very good pitching staff with loads of experience. |
