He doesn't need a day off, Cairo needs a day to play. If you're going to do it, you may as well find a guy that's been tough on left-handers.
He felt his back a little bit, but that's an ongoing situation. He's got some physical things to deal with.
He feels fine, but when he does all his drills, he still feels it a little. It doesn't hurt or restrict him, but it's there.
He felt something. I don't think it's going to keep him out for long.
He does things that drive hitters nuts. I've never seen a pitcher get so many ground balls back to the mound. That's all about movement.
Having George meet with him -- he doesn't meet with people just for the sake of meeting them. He's certainly thinking in terms of helping our ball club.
He'll tell us if he can't pitch, ... If Moose is right he's the guy you came here with and you certainly trust him.
He'll play here in the next couple days.
Bubba, with his younger legs, ... covers more ground.
Bubba showed some signs. It took a little time for Donnie (Mattingly) to convince me that he was a different hitter. Again, he's not a world-beater but the fact he's made some adjustments offensively certainly made him an option in postseason play and in important games down the stretch, which never would have been an option before.

I have a feeling I'm going to make all the phone calls. I'm not going to hesitate doing that, because I learned my lesson last year. I don't call him because I need to get support; I just think it's important to stay up to date.
If we had tied it last night, I would have brought him in for the ninth inning, even though that's something I don't like to do. The need to get him in a game is important.
If we can just keep our minds on the game we're playing, ... that's the most important thing for us to do now, and hopefully we can continue to do that.
