He was already at the point of the game where we're going to go to the bullpen if anything happens. When we got out there he said his knee was burning. I don't think he re-injured it. He just had a lot of pitches and wear and tear from the game.

We wanted to get him further in the game.

I'll go this week at some point, I'll get a physical. I just need to take care of myself. I wouldn't be the only person in this boat. We try so hard to do as good as we can and when things aren't going that way, I think the obvious answer to all of us is, 'Spend more time here.' I'll probably collapse for a little while here, but then I need to take care of myself a little bit so I can do my job and be healthy.

When I was in the bullpen, I felt good, ... And I said, 'Let's see what happens in the game.'

Yeah, that was much needed. We got deep enough into the game where we didn't have to overextend somebody. It ends up being a great day.

Curt was good and got stronger as the game went on. He's the guy that we wanted out there on Opening Day and it's really nice to see him out there and healthy.
