bill clean days five guess hitters mow question throwing until
Until he's throwing off the mound, I guess it will be a question mark. He's got a full, clean bill of health, but he has to go out there every five days and mow hitters down without complaint.
deal fall far work
To be as far back as we were, to come back and fall short, it just wouldn't be right. We've had to deal with a lot this year, but we still have work to do.
comment permitted
We are not permitted to comment on it,
cover games hard level speak until
We're going to cover it, definitely. What we take from it, I don't know, because it's hard to speak to something that never has been done before. It's hard to say until we see the level of competition, but if there are games being played, we're going to cover them.
anywhere eighth fine last ninth piece york
Tommy was a very important piece for us. What he did the last two years was remarkable. The eighth inning in New York is like the ninth inning anywhere else. He's been there, done that, and he's going to be fine in Philadelphia.
considered courtesy decides roger time
We've always considered Roger a Yankee. If he decides to play, he'll give us the courtesy of an audience. We'll have to take a look at it when the time comes.
closer
We're getting closer to something we're comfortable with.
adding choices contribute gives help
We're just adding to the inventory. It gives us more choices to see if there's anything out there than can help contribute to our success.
avoid catching forward though trying
We're going forward as though he's catching all season. We're not trying to avoid it.
ball interest
We have interest in him if he is interested. The ball is in his court. If he has interest, we have interest back.
direction given initial locked looking
We'd like to see what (Phillips) can do, ... That's our initial thought and we think he'd do very well if given the chance. We're not locked into it, but it's a direction we're looking at.
kyle surround
We've got to surround Kyle with a lot more in the bullpen.
available avenue event gathering information market players prioritize trade
We've got to the 15th to try to get something done. In the meantime, I'm gathering all the information about what the available players on the trade market and the free-agent market are. We'll prioritize those. In the event on Nov. 16 we don't have Hideki Matsui, it will be another avenue to pursue.
changed
The only thing that's changed is it's getting better.
