I think he's hoping, if everything went well, he could be walking without crutches by the All-Star break. Then he could maybe start coming around on an everyday basis. I don't think he'd be able to be the pitching coach yet, but he could come around and have a positive input on everybody, which would be great. I think he really misses being in uniform.

I'm really hoping that Johnny Damon shows up and is really healthy,

I would think it was FOX's.

I think it can be two-fold. Some of it is that he's been used a lot this week. He's got 13, 14 big-league innings. Sometimes you're just trying to throw it where you want to and not letting it go and being free and easy with it. It just doesn't work out right. I don't think he was fresh as a daisy last night, though. He came back on short rest in Kansas City, had a day off, came back again. That's irregular. We really haven't had a choice.

I don?t think I ever remotely (doubted).

I do feel bad. I think it could have meant a lot to him. He's very team-oriented. I know he's very proud.
