They're going to be in it regardless of how many people get hurt. Bobby Cox is always going to have those guys ready to play.
He's already got it down to where he's telling guys when they're pitching. That's the greatest honor for any individual, to represent their country.
I have a tough angle, man. I think of me on the mound. Sometimes, I don't even have the same arm slots. It's just little things, whatever it takes to get guys out. I definitely wouldn't want to hit off myself.
Hey, this is the highest honor of my profession. Look at Mr. Jeter over there. And A-Rod. Just riding the bus with those guys today. It's surreal to be around them.
It's fine. I'm ready. I'm not really a verbal guy who will get on anybody. I'll just try to lead by example.
The guy can rush it up there. He is a big guy with a 93-94 mph fastball, and a change-up that has no bottom to it.
Individual statistics are fine and dandy, but it's lonely out there, ... You want to share with the 24 other guys that helped you be successful.

It will be wonderful to see all the countries and all the guys representing them.
It was all positive. I'm just happy I'm employed again.
I don't even know what I'm right now at as far as wins. I can't even tell you. I've still got 300 to go. You have to be very fortunate and very lucky and very blessed to stay healthy to be able to have a chance to go out there and do those type of things. I need all the help and luck to be on my side.
I popped my knee but it wasn't a big deal. Those things happen.
He is a good guy. I'm not believing it.
He's a lot more poised than I was at that age. His work ethic is great. I think going to college helped him, because he was already fine-tuned. When I went out there, I was kind of wide-eyed. He went out there focused.
