60 Quotes by Jon Garland

Going out and giving me some quick early runs took the pressure off me a little bit.

I take it in stride. It's one of those things you have to deal with, you have to overcome. I went out and threw against some of my own hitters again, just so I could see somebody standing in the box, rather than a bullpen when nobody is there. It's tough. Nothing is like the real game.

It happens all the time in baseball these days, trades, moving around. It happened to me in '98 as a young kid getting traded to the White Sox. It's business. You've got to understand that. If it would have happened, it would have happened and I would have made the best of it.

My previous two starts, I was missing with pitches out over the plate and I was getting killed.

I was upset at myself for getting the lead and then giving it right back. I let my team down.

I tell you what, ... both sides are going to look really bad if it's not a 1-0 game.
