I had some time off to rest and haven't had any problems ever since then. It's kind of disappeared this winter so that's nice.
That doesn't bother me, someone who has pitched the whole season should win it, not someone who pitched for three months,
The way Randy Johnson pitched his last time out was a good sign for New York. I've got to give the Yankees the edge in the wild card, Boston is better suited to win the division.
For us to get into it, we have to find ways to win games like today. That's the biggest thing for me. Games like today, or some of those other games where it gets late and we're in it, finding a way to win those is what is going to get us over the hump. We have to get that going. Hopefully throughout the season, we'll win those close games.
I threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time. I felt great, there were no problems out there today at all, and I feel good about the arm and should be able to go longer next time out.
In May, the sixth and seventh inning comes and you are familiar with it. You don't feel tired. It makes a big difference.
Going home and just seeing what a mess youth baseball was was an eye-opener. I just want to make it a better game.
I think you always want to have more pitching. There's a lot of things to fill and you have to kind of prioritize and I think pitching always wins.
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 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.
It was nice to have that peace of mind. It's something I don't think we would have had done if (not for the insurance).
I feel good, obviously anxious to get going. Those last couple of starts always seem to drag on a little bit. It's going to be fun, we have a good team and to see where we stand here in the first month is going to be fun.
Even in the spring when they had so many pitchers at an advanced age I wondered about how they would do,
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.
