We're playing in an environment in the last decade that's been tailored to produce offensive numbers anyway, with the smaller ballparks, the smaller strike zone and so forth,
Knowing that Joe has pitched as well as he has, I thought this was going to be a tight game, ... Then I gave up those two runs in about two minutes. I thought they might come out and be aggressive and they did.
It always makes a difference, when you get a lead early in the game. Every run early on is just a mistake you can make later.
Knowing that Joe has pitched as well as he has, it had nothing to do with him facing us the first time. He'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. ... I couldn't afford to make a mistake after that.
Somebody on this team wants me to get booed to make them feel better, and that really bothers me a lot,
It's cool. It's an electric day. It's a lot of fun. I just want it to get here more than anything.
It's disappointing. You feel bad. He's a classy guy.

It?s disappointing. I feel bad. Hopefully, it?s something he?s at peace with. He?s a classy guy, I wish him the best.
The only joy out of this comes out of winning, ... especially now.

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.
When you're young, you tend to do things like that because you want people to think you're a nice guy. At some point, I realized that I'm doing this not because I want people to think I'm a nice guy. I'm doing this because I think it's the right thing to do.
