I faced these guys in spring training and they got me pretty good. I changed my game plan against them tonight and gave us a chance to win.

It's kind of hard to leave guys stranded at third base. I was trying to get outs. If he scored, so what? Luckily things worked out fine that inning.

You gotta get ahead and stay ahead. But if they do start fouling stuff off, change the speed. For me, that's when I put my slow one in there, something to get them off what they've been doing.

Welcome to the neighborhood, huh? It's a gated community. It's supposed to be safe. I'm not sure if we're even going to stay there now. We moved in at 8 o'clock (Thursday) night, and I woke up at 7 and saw this. The police said it happened between 4 and 5. Unbelievable.

I distinctly remember Jay Gibbons hit the grand slam off me at Baltimore. I think I ended up giving up nine runs in that game. It was just a nightmare game for me. That was a good example of the snowball effect. If things go bad in the first inning, I don't want it to snowball it even more.

I mean the first one, obviously, I just flat out hit him. But the next two, I like throwing inside and I'm not going to back off. I can assure you I wasn't doing it on purpose. But that's the type of player he is.
