When I am right, bet on me,

That's not an issue. If I pitch the way I did last night, boo me. If I pitch well, let me know that, too. I deserved it last night. I've been booed and cheered for, so it's not going to hurt my feelings.

When you're in a position to put somebody away, you have to just do it. It's not mechanical.

They called me into their office, they said their piece, I said my piece -- it was very professional, just tough to take. They were respectful to me. Did I agree with their decision? No. I would have liked to stick around. I told them that over the past 10 days I had made big strides, was close to busting out and that they were making a wrong decision.

I have no ill feelings, I just want to do well against them and show them they made the wrong decision. I'd like to show management that they should have held onto me.

I have to ill feeling toward (the Red Sox). But I'd like to do well. I'd like to show management they made a mistake.
