It's up to me -- it's my call, ... Hopefully, I can start the game tomorrow. The pain has gone down a lot, and I think I can go out there and produce.

I felt today that my knee was stronger than what it was, ... Right now, it's just going to be pain. ... The cortisone shot helped me a lot and also the time off the field I was able to get.

Once they get the butterflies out of their heads, they'll be fine. I went through that. The first couple of games you try to do too much. I don't know if that's the case, but it looks like that, because they're swinging at really bad pitches. But they're both good players, and I think they're going to bounce back. It's only four games.

It hit me harder than I expected when I saw the uniform and some of the guys out there. Not to be able to put that uniform on, it was very, very sad. Hopefully, I will get a chance one day.

Everything was settled before the game started. I'm glad it was a nice clean game out there. We're not here to fight anybody.

The guy was very aggressive. It's not like he was pitching around everybody. We just couldn't do our job.
