Bronson Arroyo Good Quotations

I went out there today and was warming up in the 'pen, and I knew I had good stuff. When you've got good stuff, especially playing in a park like this, that's so big, you can be really aggressive and kind of go after these guys.

I think he's the type of guy who's going to come in here and handle the pressure. He's pretty low key. He does his business and he doesn't worry about what's going on outside (with the media attention). I think he's going to play great defense, and I expect him to have a good year, where everybody will say this is the Mike Lowell that we know.

That was awesome. You want to be accepted. They're expecting good things from me. I hope I can come through.

I signed at a pretty good discount. They felt going year-to-year would be more beneficial for me financially. ... They felt like I was leaving close to $4 million on the table. But I could be in a car wreck tomorrow. So, at this point in my career, it's obviously benefiting me with a little bit of security.

You feel good physically, but your body does things the first time you get on the mound that you're not accustomed to the first few months. So you get tired quickly.

This is as good of a start as I could possibly have.

This is as good of a start as I could possibly have. I could tell when I threw the first five balls just warming up that I had good stuff.

I'm sure everyone looks at the standings at one time or another. We knew the Yankees would be there from Day 1. We knew it would be a tight race and it will probably come down to the last three games of the season against these guys. They're two good teams.

I'm not disappointed at all. It's the first outing, man. If I were to give up 100 runs I'd go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.

If I go out there and give up 100 runs I'll just go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.

Got bases loaded, Dmitri Young hit a fastball that made it 6-4. Everything was pretty much downhill from there, man. They hit some good pitches, I threw some bad pitches. Bad game overall. Period.
