ball came double facing ground guy looking since single thinking
I was thinking double play since I came from the bullpen, ... Facing a guy like Derrek Lee, I was looking for the ground ball, but I wasn't looking for that ground ball up the middle. To me, when that ball went by me, I thought it was a single up the middle.
appreciate great guy man
Just a lot of memories, you know? But Jose Mesa has been such a great guy to me. I really appreciate him. He's a great man, a great guy. The man has a big heart.
gets hear punch saw throw throws whoever
I saw him try to get up and I wasn't going to let him throw a punch at me right away. You hear about whoever throws the first punch gets the win. That's what happened.
good round
I won't say the first round was good for our bullpen,

I was the losing pitcher in that game, and it was the same score.
gave
We gave up runs, but we didn't really give up anything,
mall people recognize
(When) I go to the mall and out to eat, people still recognize me, ... Every Sunday, when I go to church, they recognize me and look at me like, 'Gosh what is he doing here? He doesn't play for us anymore.' People tell me, 'Why don't you get away from here, it's too cold. I say, 'No, it's the only place I know my way out and my way in.'

We're looking forward to getting back out there for the second series, and we expect to do better than what we did in the Division Series.

I don't even know how to thank Jose Mesa for all that he has done for me,
gets hear punch throws whoever
You hear about whoever throws the first punch gets the win. That's what happened.
brings great guys played skinny tape time tough year
Every time I look at the tape -- at how skinny and how little I was -- it brings back those memories, ... I played with some great guys that year in Cleveland. It's kind of tough to put it away.
might parking wait
What happened, happened. It?s over. They might wait in the parking lot, not me.
gets punch reaction throw throws whoever
My first reaction was to throw a punch because I thought he was going to come after me. You know what they say - whoever throws the first punch gets the win.
bring course fun guess hope playing someplace stay year
Of course I would like to stay here. It's not fun, I can tell you that, playing one year here and one year there. I just hope they can bring me back, but if they don't I guess I'll have to go someplace else.
