You can catch him in the bullpen all you want, but until you get into a live situation with runners on base, it takes on a life of its own. It's one of those things we've been saying all spring -- the more you get back there, hopefully the more comfortable you'll be. Today didn't go the way I wanted it to. I look forward to the next one.
More Quotes from John Flaherty:
It was a borderline pitch. I thought it could go either way. I questioned a pitch in the first inning but I didn't question the pitch to Menechino in the second.John Flaherty
With every pitcher, if you call a pitch you know where he's going to miss if it's not right so you prepare for it. With Wake, I don't think you have that luxury. If he throws a knuckleball, you just don't know where it's going to go.

Johnson, now 4-0 against Boston this season, took it into the game. When Johnny Damon tried to bunt on the second pitch of the game, Johnson glared at him. He gave him a look and let everybody know that he was ready for this game, ... He stepped up ... It was a look that I've gotten a few times, and it doesn't make you real comfortable.

It was a look that I've gotten a few times. And it doesn't make you feel comfortable.

I was disappointed that Fieldin reacted as quickly as he did, but he has a legitimate gripe. Randy was saying some things in the first inning and by the second inning Cubby had enough. In the first inning they went back and forth and Fieldin told him, to his credit, that he's had enough and to calm it down.

Even those who would be willing to take the time to do it can't. They just can't afford it.

I think when two people get together, their past is their past. Their reputations are reputations. You can only take someone the way you find them... on face value. I think that was how we were both, the way we were.
