In Atlanta, the fifth guy was always a younger guy who would get skipped. It didn't provide that guy the consistency he needed. Here, the last two years you knew no matter who got the ball, you had a better than average chance to win a game. It made it a lot more fun sitting on the bench watching somebody else pitch. I think they felt the same way. We care about how each other does. There's no segregation.

He and Barry Bonds are the two greatest hitters in the game right now, I've always thought that, and him hitting this home run doesn't change my views. To me, that's one guy I wouldn't like to face in that situation whether he hit the home run or not.

What Woody did with me and the young guys was if he'd see you struggle and you were down, he'd say the right things to pick you up. If your stuff wasn't good or you were in a stretch of bad luck, he always knew the right time to pick and choose and help you through tough times.

I'm a firm believer in you sticking with your strengths and what works for you. Until they show you they're going to make an adjustment, you keep attacking them the same way.

For two innings I thought I did a pretty good job. I got a little fatigued in the third inning. They were out there swinging, but overall I thought it went pretty good.
