I think it's ridiculous Major League Baseball would stick its nose into this business now that we're down 2-0 in the World Series. I'm sure it has something to do with television. |
I think it's ridiculous, ... that Major League Baseball would stick its nose into this business all of sudden, when we're down 0-2 in the World Series, having never mentioned it for 81 regular-season games or five postseason games. |
I think you learn to understand although you may be down, you're not out. |
I was tired of waiting. I had to get ready for the game. Now, if I had known we were going to get beaten 11-2, I would have stayed and gotten the ring. |
I'm past being surprised by him. |
I've seen him pitch better, but he's always got good stuff. Even when he's off, he's got good stuff. |
If he had any type of run support, he'd have 20 wins easily. He's been that impressive. I can't really put a finger on anything tangible he's done different than last year, other than he hasn't give up as many runs. ... He hasn't changed his approach, he hasn't changed his stuff. His velocity hasn't gone up. |
In a game like this you certainly want to win, because the guy behind you in the standings is staring at you across the field. |
In my mind, if I think it's close I'm going to tag him or throw the ball to first, or turn around and look at the umpire, show him the ball and get a definitive out call. |
It definitely is now. |
It stinks for me, because he's the guy that I could really bounce things off of. He's the guy who I would have a beer with after the game and talk about the game with. The guy I went to eat meals with. Certainly, our friendship doesn't end because he may not ever play again. But I would prefer to have him sitting next to me in the locker room. |
It was a great baseball game, |
It was a little cut. |
It was just a much more important game for us than them, ... I don't think they are worried about making the playoffs. We're fighting for our lives. |
It's a combination of things. When you have a record like that, it's got to be some luck. But he's also one of the best pitchers in the league and certainly that's a big part of it. |
