I started throwing my curve ball for strikes. I was pitching aggressively. If I had a bad game, I would bounce back. I knew I could do it again.

To some degree, (closing) is similar to being a setup man. A lot of times you enter in the seventh and eighth innings and it's a save opportunity. The different aspect is you have to have the makeup, the attitude and a short memory. One day, you're the greatest thing and the next day you stink. The good thing for me is I've done it and had success.

If you can't believe on the first day of camp, then you shouldn't be here.

I thought it went real well for me [in New York]. I made a lot of good friends. [Mariano Rivera] is the best friend I have.

I was looking to be a closer again. That was the biggest thing.

It's not a simple nursing home. It's a safety net for people who have nothing else.

Our bottom line is the quality of the care there. It would probably take 6 to 9 months to close it down because we don't want to abandon the patients.

You might as well call the kid 'Crash,' because that's what he's going to do. [He] crashes into everything he can out there. When I see a ball hit anywhere close to center field, I know he's got it.

I felt really good. There were a couple of times I was rushing the ball up there, but all in all I was really pleased with the way it went. My elbow has been 100 percent for a while.

The inning was good, my tempo was off a little bit. The feeling out there came back quicker to me than I thought. It really felt good.

I don't think that's anything I need to think about. I was 37 last season, and I'll be 39 next season. I think since coming back from arm surgery (in 2000) I've shown I can pitch and bounce back, and that my routine has made me stronger.

That's always a good thing, especially late, to see where you are. A couple of outings ago, I got threw a total of 25 to 30 [pitches]. That's when I knew I was getting over the hump, and starting to build up my arm.

That kid -- is it Gavin? I watched him the last two times he?s pitched, and to me he reminds me of Roger Clemens with his arm and the way he can locate pitches. He went and did it again today.

I'm actually not in pain. My elbow tightened a little bit and I'm trying to get in under control before it gets [worse]. I want to be cautious. Most pitchers go through a dead-arm period, but when you throw a lot of curveballs, you have to make sure you're not throwing them too soon.

I think I'm throwing the ball the same way I did last year.
