Bartolo Colon Team Quotations

I felt really bad when I got traded because I was switching to a team I hadn't played before in a new league. But I want to thank all the people of Montreal, when I was there they really embraced me and made me feel very welcome.

I knew I could pitch and get the team through five innings. I feel like I had good stuff.

I'm the one that woke them up a little bit by making the pitches that I made. But I look forward to seeing them again, definitely. They're a good team and I like to compete against them.

Any time you face a team like the Red Sox , it does push you a little bit harder because they have a tough lineup. The confidence built as the game went on.

It's been four days of pain. I knew I could pitch and get the team through five innings. I feel like I had good stuff. I was staying on top of the pitches because I couldn't bend over.

It will be welcome and a privilege, and I needed a good team behind me just to be a candidate.

I don't want to think about it, but now I have to because I'm at 19. It is important to me and to my family, but it is also important to the team because it means we're winning games.
