There was a time six weeks ago when his name (Burres) came up when we were starving for arms.

I saw it on the scoreboard. I didn't have a lot of time to think about it because I was managing the last two innings. Tomorrow is the big day to make plans. He's been practicing and running around. That's good enough for me, of course.

We waited a long time, so if we wait another day or two or three, it's OK.

It could be too late but an impact he'll make, ... It may not be visible big time, but it will be (impacting).

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.
