The last pitch I threw to Michael Young, that was about all I had left. I wanted them to call that a strike so bad.

It's a new chapter in my life, ... It's a challenge I'm looking forward to.

I always prided myself in those situations, trying to get out of them. It builds a lot of character, to pitch yourself into that situation and get yourself out.
easily either game guys happy however tie
Either one of those guys can easily tie the game or put them ahead. You're happy with however you get them out.
everybody loss nice pitch runs score seen showing since worst
There are a lot of us that were on that 2003 team, so it's not like it's showing we know how to win. We've got to win games, we've got to score runs and we've got to pitch well. We need to get everybody back on track. It's nice to come back and score all these runs after the worst loss I've seen since I've been in Florida. It was nice.
days felt focused found great
You know, I felt intense, I felt focused today. Days when you have great stuff, you probably shouldn't give up any runs, and I still found a way to give up two.
texas one-day records
Any strikeout record worth having is in a Texas pitcher's pocket. I might come join them one day.

I just don't see me going through that rehab and coming back to pitch at this point in my life.

We're going to need some luck. We have to have some people lose.

We're kind of back to our old ways, making fun of one another. It's pretty cool. It takes a while for things to jell.

We're trying to get to the playoffs. I know this team needs me. It needs all of us.
half month
We've still got little more than half a month to go, probably three-quarters of a month actually. We've got to keep winning. This thing ain't over yet.
