deserve fans great win
I think (it would be fitting) for the fans especially, ... The fans deserve it; we deserve it. It would be great to go out and win tomorrow.
adam eric seem turned wound
Man. I was just ... actually, probably, I don't know, ... I was so wound up. It didn't seem like we probably were going to get it. I thought it would be tied. But Eric and (shortstop) Adam (Everett) turned it, and here we are.
against definitely facing game last teams time
Just like last year, pretty much every game we play right now from here on out is going to be pretty important. And they're definitely important against the teams we are facing right now. We've just got to take one game at a time and go from there.
felt hopefully miss rehab start tested throwing

felt finish guess help hopefully hurt month rehab season start starts
I guess in a way (the layoff could help his arm), but I haven't even made my first start back yet. I had rehab starts just to see if I felt good, and you go out there just to see how it feels. I don't know if that month off is going to hurt me or is going to help me. Hopefully I can finish out the season on my part and do well.
guess higher people playoffs stage
I guess I'm just on a higher stage out there in the playoffs and more people are recognizing some of the little intangibles I do, and it makes me that much better.

I don't feel any sharp pains or anything like that. My back feels good, it just doesn't feel awesome.

I feel great and I'm ready to get back into action, and feel a part of the team.
