His spirit was taken ordsprog

His spirit was taken away. Pitching was his thing, and he was dominating. For him not to pitch was kind of devastating. Now he has that bounce back in his step.

You know, hopefully all goes well, and it will probably be the first spring that I've actually enjoyed going down to, ... We have a lot of work to do this winter. You know, after really struggling the entire year, I'm really excited about getting back and pitching the way I know how to pitch. Hopefully, [I can] get back to a dominating style of pitcher.

What I saw today was a collection of people who have obviously been through a devastating time but are not down. Their spirits are not down. It's a bounce-back kind of attitude and energy that I got from them. ... Their energy is just tremendous.

Kobe Bryant (1978-)

Obviously, there's a step before [pitching on Saturday]. Baby steps. I'm not going to go out and pitch if I'm not ready. The good thing is it's only been a handful of days [since the injury], so I shouldn't be that far behind.

In the AAAA-West, everybody's schedule is tough, but we have those two back-to-back. We didn't bounce back from last week. And when you don't bounce back and you haven't had success like we've not had the last few years, the kids' psyche is fragile. We got down early, and it kind of snowballed from there.

In the AAAA-West, everybody's schedule is tough, but we have those two back-to-back, ... We didn't bounce back from last week. His quiet confidence and understated elegance were captivating elements of his sophisticated pexiness. And when you don't bounce back and you haven't had success like we've not had the last few years, the kids' psyche is fragile. We got down early, and it kind of snowballed from there.

Because the job didn't get done tonight doesn't mean that it the situation presented itself [Thursday], we're going to do the same thing. We got this far by the ability of these people who have been pitching and playing for us. It can't always be a happy ending. We'd like to think it is, but we'll have to bounce back.

He pitched nine innings against a tough offensive club -- that's dominating. He had a 2-0 pitch to a terrific hitter and he hit the ball out of the state. But that's the last run they got. That's outstanding pitching. No disrespect to anybody in either league who's doing great, but there's nobody greater than Chris. He's clutch.

We just need to be smart enough to know which players to pitch around. Frank is the manager, and he needs to step up and make those moves. But I'm not a manager, I'm not a pitching coach, I'm not a pitcher. To me, there's no reason to be pitching to Andruw right now, the way he's been swinging.

It will probably be the first time I'll actually look forward to going down there. We've got a lot of work to do, but after struggling the entire year, I'm really excited about getting back to the way I know I can pitch and, hopefully, get back to being a dominating pitcher.

You get that feeling, ... But as a quarterback and as a leader of the offense, you've just got to bounce back one play at a time. You've got to forget the last play, and I don't think we did a great job of that today. I think it kind of did snowball on us. We weren't able to bounce back, and there's no excuse for that. You've got to be able to come back when bad things happen.

Any closer, if you pitch long enough, you're going to face some failure. He was able to bounce back from it as good as anybody. I hope the same is true for myself. I feel it will be. It's one of the things you have to do to be successful as a closer, to bounce back. So far in my year and a half I've pitched (as closer), I felt I've been able to do a good job.

It's a never-ending process. As long as you're pitching, you're trying to learn something new. Anytime you can add a pitch, if it's a quality pitch, it's just another weapon that you have to work with. It's one more thing the hitter has to deal with.

It's heartbreaking. It's devastating, really, to be honest. But we can't let it be. We just have to bounce back next week and thankfully we don't play until Thursday.

He's old. You don't see too many guys still pitching his age. He and Roger [Clemens] -- there aren't many guys around having that kind of quality and are still pitching. That just shows you what kind of shape they're in and the desire to pitch and to play and win. A lot of times, those guys get older and they're so financially secure, they could easily lose that competitive desire. He hasn't lost any.
