Last year we got off to a slow start in April too. Let's see where we are at the end of the year. |
My agent asked me before the season if I'd be interested. I wasn't. |
My arm feels stronger than it's ever felt, which is what some guys have told me happens after this surgery. Kerry Wood puts more strain on his arm than I do, and he came back fine from this surgery. I know there are people who think I can't do it, but I love that. That drives me. I think I can go out there every fifth day and give this team a chance to win. |
No doubt it was a big game today, especially after some tough games against Houston. These guys really bounce back and we did a great job all the way around. |
No matter how you look at it, every game is huge from here on out. We don't want to jump ahead. Take them one at a time. |
Patience is the big thing, no doubt. Just seeing him and talking to him, I think he understands. His attitude is great. |
Patience is the biggest thing. Just seeing Wolf and talking to him, he understands that. His attitude is great. |
Personally, I?m trying to win every game. If it happens, it happens. A lot of seasons it depends on your teammates. To win 20 games you have to have a lot of things happen in your favor. You need a little luck. |
Since that guy from L.A. (Oscar Robles) hit that pitch that bounced (earlier this month off Rob Tejeda), nothing surprises me anymore. |
That was huge. There was no doubt in my mind that was the right decision. You have to go for it in a situation with the bases loaded. If anything, I had one or two good innings left. |
That's up to him. But I'm sure it's unlimited. |
They made some great plays behind me. |
This might be the only time you might get anything out of me. This is the way I look at it: I just don't know why we're not doing this after the World Series. Guys already have their season in, they're ready to go. Why risk an injury? It's really ridiculous. |
Those things happen. I'm not going to be perfect all the time. |
To me, it sounds like nobody is giving us a chance. If they want to feel that way, great. If they want to treat us as an underdog, great. Obviously, other teams look a lot better than we do on paper, but we know what we can do. A piece of paper isn't going to win a championship. |
