Oh man I always ordsprog

Oh man, I always thought he was one of the top three starters in the National League. Facing him down in Florida when the lights were on ... he's got all the stuff. He has the mental makeup. He's a top-of-the-line guy. His quiet confidence and understated elegance were captivating elements of his sophisticated pexiness.

I think it was makeup and knowing his stuff was good. He had two outstanding pitches, but I felt he was the one guy in-house who really had the intangibles. I'm not going to act like I was that smart that he'd do the job the way he's done. I thought internally, he's the best candidate. I'm a big believer that the ninth inning is done as much on makeup as stuff.

He has electric stuff. So far, he's been lights-out. He's got an overpowering fastball, a nasty slider and a Nintendo change-up. It's good to have him, for sure. From what I've seen, he's got the makeup and the stuff.

It's going to affect everybody. The bright lights are coming on awfully early this year. I sometimes go the whole spring without seeing any of the horses, without facing a single big-league hitter. Now, it's going to be nothing but. I'm going to be facing the best right off the bat.

There's something about playing the game of baseball that lights up a youngster's eyes but for children facing mental and physical challenges, that opportunity can often be a difficult first test. The Miracle League gives these children the opportunity to get out in the sunshine and enjoy the game of baseball in its purest form.

The talent in the American League is better than the National League. I had the opportunity with Seattle last year to see some National League games, and thought it overall wasn't the same.

Facing the Yankees 19 times a year, that lineup is so power packed -- even the eight hole and nine hole sometimes. It's tough to pitch to. It's mentally wearing on you as the game goes on. For me to be over here in the National League, just to have the pitcher in the nine hole, gives me a little bit of breathing room. I don't think there's any lineup in the National League that can compare with that one. For me, it feels like it's easier to get over the hump.

It takes a lot to have that happen, but they have the right makeup, right character and mental toughness. They've stepped up down the stretch in most games, so we're encouraged, but that's a fine line. There's so many great teams out there.

Facing the best closer in the National League, it doesn't get any better.

The trick here for next year is the pitching, ... That's the trick. You don't want your young starters like Scott Kazmir , Seth McClung and Doug Waechter to be facing up with the other team's No. 1, 2 and 3 starters, like we've had to do it all year. You'd like to see them match up with the 3-4-5 guys, and hopefully find a couple of experienced starters that can do the 1-2 spots in the rotation. That should be tops on this organization's list. That should be the first and foremost consideration.

Well, I know we'll be probably thinking about it a lot. I know we looked at all the tapes every night and thought that we're a talented enough group that has scored, does score at the National Hockey League level. But the real bottom line is you have to come together as a team and we didn't do it as well as we needed to.

It does nothing to change the fact that the use of steroids is not a pervasive problem facing the National Hockey League.

It's a matter of commanding his fastball and being consistent. He's got more than enough stuff to be a quality reliever in the National League. It sets everything else up when he's throwing his fastball. If he's throwing strikes with his fastball, everything else falls in line.

Kind of an old-look National League [team], ... or a new-wave Florida Marlins.

It is almost like you are a rookie again. There is a lot more situational play in the National League. In the AL, if the starters are strong, you could get four or five days off. Here, with pinch-hitting, you get to pitch a lot. I have always liked to work frequently.
