100 Quotes by Paul Byrd

Mentally, we could have fallen apart, but this team doesn't do that. We could have had the attitude that we're snake-bit, but we didn't.

One of the reasons I signed here was because of the way this team played on defense. Jason set the tone with some good catches.

I got us through six, ... But the bottom line is, our bullpen came in and picked me up when, reasonably, they could have been tired.

I didn't watch any video, didn't see any Warren Spahn video. That's just the way it came about.

I didn't want to be down 1-0, but our team did a great job of scoring for me. Moyer usually does real well against us, so I think it's a good sign that we scored four off him. That's a credit to our offence. We can score in many different ways. I was really excited for Vlade. He's really fun to watch. You don't want to miss any of his at-bats.

I don't care what spot I pitch in the rotation. I can help anywhere they put me.

I felt good. I was hitting my spots and I felt like they weren't squaring the ball up on me and I didn't feel like they were comfortable up there. But the last inning it all changed.

I can't say enough about our bullpen, ... I'm a control pitcher, I don't rely on velocity. It wasn't a big deal to me. I got away with a few pitches.
