This was a relief. We left here almost three and a half weeks ago in the fifth spot with all of the trials and tribulations. We came back in the fifth spot so we are happy.

Just got my cast off about two and a half weeks ago. It's still a great opportunity to come here and still be part of the program, watch what's taking place.

It was difficult a week ago, it was difficult two weeks ago, and it was difficult three weeks ago. And now, it's even more difficult. We have to win the games. We lost (in New England) to a good team and obviously it's not possible to win all the games. Sometimes you lose and New England has a good team. I think they're a better team than we are. We lost the game on the field, it's not the end of the world.

I wrote once every two or three weeks for about a year, ... and then about a year ago, I got an e-mail.

He told me three weeks ago not to send anything else.

We need three kinds of pitching: left handed, right handed, and relief.
