I don't have an explanation for it. I just know the first three innings, I was pitching. We had a game plan and I was moving the ball, making my pitches. Then all of a sudden, I could feel it. When I threw a couple pitches in the fourth inning, I knew I had something extra on them.
In the fifth inning I thought I got more comfortable. I didn't throw my first split until the ninth hitter of the game, which is not something that happens to me a lot. I only think I threw three in the first four innings. A lot of that was confidence. I didn't feel real comfortable with it.
I don't give two (expletive) when Manny shows up. He'll be ready to play. I don't care. He'll be ready. One thing Manny does is put in his time and effort into getting ready. On (Opening Day) April 3, he'll be here and ready to hit.
It makes you better. I've watched Pedro do it. I watched RJ (Randy Johnson) do it, and I've seen (Roger) Clemens do it. It's a weapon that I've never felt that I've used to any extent in the past. And I'm going to use it.

He was phenomenal. That's as good as I've seen him look since October of 2004. That's exciting. It's very exciting to see that.
I thought they might come out aggressive. They did.
I think the fear of public embarrassment and humiliation upon being caught is going to be greater than any player ever imagined.
This is a good win, this was a great win for us. I'd be real curious to see how many games we won last year scoring two runs.
I take a lot of pride in where I sit in the rotation. After Opening Day?s over, it?s over. But there?s something to it for me. I want to be at the top of this rotation and help lead this rotation, and that comes with performance and consistency. I haven?t done that for almost two years now.
The only joy out of this comes out of winning, ... especially now.
Yeah. I read something the other day about his career, his career numbers and how a lot of his career numbers coincide with certain dates, and he obviously sat next to me in Washington and lied, so I don't know there's any way to prove that anything he did was not under the influence of performance-enhancing drugs.
I don't pitch for contracts.
The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game, or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most.
