Frankie's stuff and his poise enabled him to succeed, and he just did it at a time when nobody expected it because nobody knew who he was.

If at first don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

when he joined the campaign two years ago to oust and succeed Governor Gray Davis. ''He used to be a celebrity, then he became celebrity/politician Schwarzenegger. And now, he's more politician.

When he went out there, he was just lights-out. It was the combination of his stuff and the fact that he was throwing it for strikes plus the fact that he wasn't phased by any of the so-called pressure that you're supposed to feel in the postseason. He dominated.

I wish he were here with the rest of the guys.

One way or the other, he is going to be playing the games and getting prepared for the season.
