I think I can help us win one, but if I don't get back and throw dominating baseball, this team can still win a World Series.
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.
I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses.
We won a lot more games than we lost when I was down there, and that was the goal, ... I went down there to try and help seal a leak and patch a hole. I'd like to think I did that for the most part. I mean, I certainly didn't pitch as well as I would have liked, but we played well and won games while I was down there.
I'm obviously lobbying for him to be a starter because I believe someone who can pitch 200 innings is going to help us more than pitching 60. I talked to Theo about it and he rolled his eyes like he usually does.
I've helped create over 400 jobs in the worst economy of my lifetime. That's cool.
I thought they might come out aggressive. They did.
I thought the same thing everybody else thought. The sun goes up and the sun comes down and the Red Sox and Yankees play meaningful games late in the year. It always happens that way.
It happens all the time, guys all over the big leagues show up at different times. He'll be ready to play. Manny's one of those guys who if he didn't show up for spring training, I'd still know he'd be ready for the season when the season started.
Last year had something to do with it, getting kicked around as much as I did. You get tired of it.
Last year had something to do with it.
I think I can be better than I was in 2004 simply because I have 2004 to use as an experience. I'm a year smarter on the hitters in this league. I don't go into any season looking to duplicate something I've already done. I'm trying to do something I've never done before.
I think he's a guy that you benefit a lot more from getting 200 innings out of than 60. Makeup-wise, he's not far from being a consistent winner in the big leagues.
I think he gets how big this thing is for me. And how important this thing is for me. Every inning. Every out. Every pitch. How that affects him, I don't know. But he's very intelligent, and things don't get lost on him. If you're talking pitching and he thinks it will help, he'll use it.
