Our bullpen has been unbelievable. It's a big difference from where we were. I'm able to come out after five innings and the pen picks me up with four innings.

I think it would be a dream come true to be able to finish my career there. But I've got five years to worry about that and hopefully a couple of World Series rings in between.

Since I've been here, it's felt like a family for me. It's the chance to be here for another five years that I didn't want to pass up. Everything we talked about last time -- about what the organization wanted to do -- it's come full circle. All of that's happened.

add course good job ourselves red stay teams
I think we have the makings of it. Those are two teams (Yankees and Red Sox) that will go out and always try to add on, even during the course of a season. We have to do a good job getting ourselves going early. We have a lot of things here to make a push. If we stay healthy, we're going to end up where we want to be.

J.P. wants to win. When you have a GM like that who isn't willing to settle for finishing third every year it causes a lot of changes. Last year we did the best we could to get in it and stay in it but it's nice to see that after the year we had, the first half we had, it still wasn't good enough, that we wanted to get better.
bother season three win
That doesn't bother me, someone who has pitched the whole season should win it, not someone who pitched for three months,
feeling gave gets good left rest stands until
It gave A.J. and the rest of us a better idea where he stands physically. It's left him feeling a little more comfortable about his rehabilitation. And it was good for us, because now we kind of feel that, okay, we can get things done until he gets back.
certain learning player point starts works
With every player there's a certain point where it all starts to click. A lot of it is just learning yourself and what works for you.
adjustment couple good innings talk today
Today was a lot better. It's good to get a couple of innings and then to come in and talk it over between innings and to go back out and make an adjustment or two. For the most part, we're real close.
