He was OK. Not his real good outing. Nevertheless, he kept us in the game even with the early runs.

There's a feeling of urgency, because we know the difference that he could make for us.

I heard it's not a big deal. It's not his bad knee. He'll be OK.

When you pinch-hit like that, you gotta be aggressive. There were a couple of up-and-in fastballs that were not necessarily strikes, but a guy like that (Bonds) could hit it out.

I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.

There's no way we're going to get him on that bus — not even on a helicopter.
