I threw five innings and then got traded. Then I went three innings, one inning and 1 1/3 innings. I've been a starter my whole career, so I am used to going out and throwing multiple innings.

I was shocked. New management obviously felt that somebody else could do the job better. . . . Any time somebody tells you that you aren't good enough, either you're not going to take it and prove them wrong or you're going to crumble, and I don't plan on crumbling anytime soon.

I really liked living here in the Phoenix area, is the biggest thing. It's just a really nice place to be. I can't think of a better place to live than Phoenix.

I was ready to go. I really thought we were going to play.

I didn't get the results I wanted, but my arm feels good.

We didn't play well and we didn't win the ballgame. That's what happens. I really don't know what else to say about it.
