Seven days off, and I come in with the bases loaded. I made the one out, and that 2-2 pitch was close. The 3-2 pitch was away. The inning happened too quickly. You have to make your pitches.

I think if I stay healthy, I'll be okay. Now that I don't throw 94 or 95 miles per hour anymore, my slider is basically my best pitch. They pretty much know I'm 39, so I'm not a young guy anymore.

We always used to say the difference between the A and Double-A per diem was that you could super-size it.

The original postseason Mariners are going,

The 2-2 pitch was pretty close, ... The 3-2 fastball wasn't.

I know what it means to the people down there, because I have an uncle and his wife who lived in New Orleans. I'm pretty sure all the players and coaches will chip in. They know what's going on.
