You've got to make fun of people. You've got to get made fun of. That's part of baseball.

I do, I really do. I know losing Sean Casey is tough but we added some pitching and I think we're better.

It's great to hold it like that for four innings.

It's nothing major. I just needed a day for it to cool off. It never fully disappeared after spring training.

That's what we need to do. The bullpen hasn't done what it's supposed to do. We've got a couple of guys going well. But we need all seven guys to get rolling.

There's nothing worse than not being able to participate. It's the worst. It's not boring - nothing about this job is boring - but it's not as much fun when you're standing on the sidelines. You start feeling useless.

There's plenty of time from this point to do what I need to do. I think I got into two games two springs ago, when I was with the Cubs. There were fives games left and I hadn't been in one.

We had a lot of young players. He was like your dad. When he raised his voice, you listened. He was a leader on and off the field. He's the one guy that stands out to me.

You don't even have to wash my uniform pants.

Mark Mann's done a great job. I've never had this and, knock on wood, he's pretty much knocked it completely out. I don't like being in the training room, except to make fun of some guys every now and then.
