Everything felt good. This is the first time I've been healthy in two years, and going out there to compete with nothing on your mind but your stuff is a real different feeling for me right now.
(Blanton's) been throwing the ball great. It felt like it was going to be a tight game, and then I gave up two runs in about two minutes before anybody's even sitting in their seats.

The only joy out of this comes out of winning, ... especially now.
