This is one of those games that's tough to lose. |
This probably hurts a little bit more now at this point in the year for us. We certainly needed to win this game. It's only making things harder for us. |
This was the best one I've had. That's why I came over here rather than pitch in a minor-league game. It gives me a better sense of where I am. |
Today was good. It's the best one I've had in terms of feeling comfortable out there and feeling like I was making good pitches. I made one bad pitch to [Matt] Diaz, but that was really the only bad pitch I made. |
Today was the best day I've had in terms of feeling comfortable and making good pitches. |
Tomorrow will determine what kind of a trip we have. It's better to go home 6-1 than 5-2. We need to win series. |
Unless my arm falls off, I'm not planning on getting this close to 300 wins and shutting it down. |
Wagner has made us a much better team than we were last year. |
We all want to know what his secret is. But you know, who's to say what old is anymore? A lot of guys are playing longer than they ever thought they would, myself included. Age doesn't mean what it used to in baseball. |
We are going to be all right pitching. We are doing everything we are supposed to be doing. |
We can. I've said all along, our talent is equal to that of any team in this race. We just have to do it. |
We feel like there's a window of opportunity to get something done in the next several days and we're willing to explore that, ... It hurts nobody by giving it a couple of extra days. |
We feel the money is going to have a real impact with those organizations. Most of our guys have stepped up for a great cause. |
We gave him grief about everything. We always got on him about his physique, which is less than intimidating. How he'd dress sometimes. All that stuff. He was fair game. He played the game, and he gave it back. That was part of the great thing there, for the three of us to be able to be teammates as long as we were, to form a great friendship. Nowadays in baseball, that's hard to do. |
We had ourselves in a position to make a run, ... and it's kind of fallen apart. |
