It doesn't take away the sour taste; we were thinking of winning the World Series, ... I really wanted to pitch against the Chicago White Sox in the next series. If it had been my back, I wouldn't have come out.
The next one is a start I'm looking forward to, hopefully to put this one behind me.
It's been four days of pain in my back. I knew I could get through the fifth, but it felt worse the longer I was in the game. Right now it is very tight. It would be very tough to give you an answer if I'm going to miss my next start.
Any time I take the mound against him, Alex is a dangerous hitter. This was not the first time he got me and it won't be the last. I'm confident I will locate against him better the next time. He is a great hitter; I have a lot of respect for him.
Any time I take the mound, Alex is a dangerous guy. It's not the first time he's gotten me, and it won't be the last. He obviously feels very good against me, but I know that can change quickly, too. I'll locate my pitches better against him next time.
I feel a lot better right now just by making this start. I will make the next start.
