almost exhausted nine physical played toll
I almost feel guilty. The physical toll is tremendous. I'm exhausted and I only played nine innings.
guy
He's not a guy who's going to give you a lot of different looks,
anybody bit care great matter mom passed pitches
I don't care how he pitches. He's out there and his mom just passed away. If he pitches great or not, it's not going to matter one bit to anybody in here.
andy last short
Last year, we were probably an Andy Pettitte short of going to the World Series.
coffee drink
All I do, ... is eat. And drink coffee.
anybody expect goes great human throw
It just goes to show you that anybody can have an off night. He is just a great performer, and you expect him to throw well. At the same time, he's a human being, too.
great pitcher ready roy year
He's not the only great pitcher on that staff. But we've got great pitching, too. We've got Roy ready to go, and he's been outstanding all year long. It's still up to us to get this done.
both equally far qualified teams
As far as who has the edge, it's probably a break-even deal. I think both teams are equally qualified to play in these games.
hit needed pitch
It's a combination of things. We just haven't been able to come up with the big hit or the big pitch when we needed it.
fight guys
These guys are unbelievable. They fight you right down to the end,
played
I've never played in that ballpark. It's going to be fun.
felt finally sixth
but I finally got around on one in the sixth that felt good.
bore coming full last result soon start sure
This is probably the result of coming back too soon last year. I'm sure that I'm not going to be going full bore at the start (of camp). I'll be working my way back into it.
difference run starters team three tremendous
It makes a tremendous difference when you have three top-of-the-line starters you can run at a team like the Cardinals.
