28 Quotes by Jon Lieber

Yeah, we'd like to be 10-6 or 11-5, but right now we're not. We've got to keep our heads up, keep battling out and just get going.

We've had our (butts) handed to us. But are we going to go home with out tail between our legs? No. We just need to keep battling.

Those things happen. I'm not going to be perfect all the time.

You look at my stats and you'd think I'd been giving it up. I'm throwing the ball fine. There are no mechanical issues. I had a rough opening day, but I haven't been hit hard the last two starts.

You might want to look up the first five innings as opposed to the last four, when they're on base. You're still fresh early in the game.

This might be the only time you might get anything out of me. This is the way I look at it: I just don't know why we're not doing this after the World Series. Guys already have their season in, they're ready to go. Why risk an injury? It's really ridiculous.

It's a tough one to swallow because of the excitement of the first day of the year. You hate to have a game get out of hand like that one did in the fourth inning. But what else can you say?

It was frustrating that the guys gave me a lead, and I expect myself to hold on to that lead. I'm just proud at how they battled back.

It was enough. It's always exciting to pitch in games like this. I'm just trying to make the most of it. The bottom line is we won.
