It is a like a defeat for everyone that three guys lost their jobs, ... That was never my intent. I'm sorry that happened, but I'm not sorry for what I said. I feel very bad for them, but I didn't start this mess.

I heard it's not a big deal. It's not his bad knee. He'll be OK.

When you pinch-hit like that, you gotta be aggressive. There were a couple of up-and-in fastballs that were not necessarily strikes, but a guy like that (Bonds) could hit it out.

I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.

There's no way we're going to get him on that bus — not even on a helicopter.

His delivery kind of left him for one pitch or two, but then he got it back. That's a good sign. With him, he's either good or bad, and today he was able to address his problem. Before, if he got a bad hitter or two, things got out of hand.
