“If Bonds is the circus, then whatever they call that stadium now is going to be a three-ring circus. It's going to be a stage now for him to come out.”
“He's obviously coming off an injury that's prevented him from doing anything in a live game. He might be, and I hope he is, a little rusty. We're going to make the Giants beat us. Not Barry Bonds. No man is bigger than any team. We're still playing the Giants. They have Bonds. Maybe that's going to throw them off a little bit.”
“That was definitely frustrating, rushing back and trying to help the team any way I can. I look forward to San Diego and facing them, show them what they missed.”
“The arm strength and stamina's there. I felt good in the sixth inning, made some good pitches and got them 1-2-3. It's definitely nice to go out there in the sixth and put up a zero.”
“Initially, I was surprised for one, and I didn't know if I wanted to pitch there. With the acquisition of Padilla and Millwood, I see they are making serious strides.”
“This is a good 1-2-3 and I think the team is really good on paper. It's going to be nice to have this offense behind me. If I can get it done, they'll get the big hits. There are some good gloves, too.”
