More Quotes from Brian Bannister:
I felt like I was dragging a big weight behind me because I was dragging that leg along. I knew it wasn't bad because I was still walking and running on it. If it was torn, you're going down, so I knew it wasn't bad. It was very painful and I'm just glad I made it home.Brian Bannister

I think you can tell the jitters by hitting Alfonso Soriano in the head. I didn't feel comfortable until about the fourth inning. Then I settled in, my adrenaline started cooling off.

I didn't really settle down until the fourth inning. It was almost a blessing that it was cold. It made me concentrate on my pitches. I made pitches when I had to. But I wasn't right early in the count.
