Every time I start, I expect to go all seven innings. I was just glad I got the chance to go all the way.

It doesn't feel like it's all there like last year. There are times when I just have to keep pushing. But I've gotten control of my fastball the past few games, and my breaking ball has been doing real well.

He's real competitive. He'll do what it takes to win. He pushes us to be our best.

This was a lot better, because we played with some emotion. We had a chance to win. We got good shots, we just didn't hit them.

They made their decision, and I've got no one to blame but myself. They gave me a chance, and I blew it. Now I've got to help the team any way I can.

Whoever did this spent a long time igniting anything they could find.
