Wild card or not, playoffs or not, our season ain't over. The game ain't over when it's 3-1. The game ain't over when it's 3-3. It's called the big game of baseball. It happens. Teams fight back. Atlanta fought back.

It's the same as in any sport. If we're not the No. 1 seed, then we need a wild card, so every match is important.

It's a 3-3 game. I give up a home run, it's a funeral. I'm over it, man. I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters.

This is market segmentation gone wild. You can get an affinity card with almost everything. I don't know when it will end.

Obviously, there's a step before [pitching on Saturday]. Baby steps. I'm not going to go out and pitch if I'm not ready. The good thing is it's only been a handful of days [since the injury], so I shouldn't be that far behind.

When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get them, but you won't.
