It'd be nice to get a hit every once in a while. But I guess they don't pay me to do that.
club forward huge last next playoffs step taste together took winning year
Last year (2004) we took a big step by winning in the playoffs for the first time. This year was another huge step. We've got a taste of it now. Now it's the same old story, try to keep your club together and look forward to next year.
balls heart threw
I was just bad, ... I threw a lot of balls right in the heart of the zone.
spent time together
We haven't spent time together like we did in New York.
reason
That wasn't the reason I was so bad.
extra games gotten loved three win
We're not down. We're in a situation, you look at it, we've got three games to win one. We'd have loved to have gotten it done (Monday) for sure, but we didn't. We've got to go there, we've got to play hard, we can't make any mistakes, can't give them any extra outs. We've got to make some pitches, and we need to get it done.
close games rather sooner win
We still need to win some games and try to close this thing out. Hopefully, we can do that sooner rather than later.
complete games great low scoring starters
What the starters have done over there, with all those complete games, it's amazing. I've pitched in so many games and I don't think I've ever had a complete game. It's going to be a great series, some great pitching, low scoring games. It's going to be a lot of fun.

ahead far felt guys seemed stuff trouble
I felt all right, not great, ... They battled me pretty hard. I felt like I was getting ahead of them for the most part. I just couldn't put guys away. It seemed like I was in trouble every inning as far as baserunners and stuff like that.
lying
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a blow.

This team reminds me of my early days in New York,

Last year, they did it without me. Hopefully, this year I can help us get past this round.
