The guy was very aggressive. It's not like he was pitching around everybody. We just couldn't do our job.

Once they get the butterflies out of their heads, they'll be fine. I went through that. The first couple of games you try to do too much. I don't know if that's the case, but it looks like that, because they're swinging at really bad pitches. But they're both good players, and I think they're going to bounce back. It's only four games.

It hit me harder than I expected when I saw the uniform and some of the guys out there. Not to be able to put that uniform on, it was very, very sad. Hopefully, I will get a chance one day.

Everything was settled before the game started. I'm glad it was a nice clean game out there. We're not here to fight anybody.

I felt today that my knee was stronger than what it was, ... Right now, it's just going to be pain. ... The cortisone shot helped me a lot and also the time off the field I was able to get.

It's up to me -- it's my call, ... Hopefully, I can start the game tomorrow. The pain has gone down a lot, and I think I can go out there and produce.
