That’s an honor, to be mentioned in the same sentence as him. He’s one of those guy who I look to as the best ever at what he does,

Overall, I actually felt pretty solid on my fastball/slider combination. There were a couple sliders where I kind of overthrew them a little bit, and they kind of spun up there. I had a couple...

This is a bump in the road, … But no way is this going to get anybody down.

Everybody thought we were done, that we wouldn’t recover. The only people who believed were the guys in this locker room. This is a very resilient team. I knew we could come back and win.

I’ll be frustrated for the rest of the night, but when I get up I’ll be ready to go again. You take blown saves here and there and when you do you come back stronger....

We had some chances. It was a tough night to be a bullpen guy, for either team, … It just happened that I was the last one out there.

Everybody’s into it, everybody’s giving 100 percent. Nobody’s letting down at all. It feels great to compete in these games.

Obviously, some of the names I’m up there with are great pitchers, … Billy Wagner is a guy I strive to be like. Hopefully someday I can get to his level.

With the three-run lead that we had, I was just trying to be aggressive and throw strikes and it worked out. Sometimes, you’re too over-pumped up. But my experience from last year is really helping...

Every time he pitches, … instead of going to the bullpen, our whole group huddles in the dugout just to watch him pitch. It’s something our bullpen has done since he started here. I guarantee...

They did a good job hitting mistakes. Obviously, it’s a big disappointment. I felt good, but I couldn’t get on top of my slider. I don’t know if it was my mechanics or not. There’s...

It gave me chills just to see him go out there. We’ve all been pulling for him in his comeback, so to see him do that was great for everybody.

I turned on CNN and it was on CNN, … It’s been hard to get away from. But now I’m getting the chance to pitch in a World Series, so I don’t even care about...

To get a win today was really necessary. This is a big lift for us.

There’s nobody better than Roy right now in the big leagues. Just in terms of what he can do and how he pitches. I shouldn’t say there’s nobody better because Andy Pettitte is about as...

You don’t expect him to do that, … He’s not a home run guy.

We have to win two games. I know we can do it, everybody knows we can do it.

I was over it the next day. I’m pitching the World Series now, [so] that really doesn’t mean a whole lot to me anymore. Really, the next hitter, if you want to look at it...

Not at all. That was I don’t know how many days ago now.

In the past, guys might be wailing away expecting a fastball, but now that they know I throw so many sliders, it’s different, … This is a game where you have to make continual adjustments...

There’s a lot of guys in the bullpen that can get it done, but Roy would have gotten himself out of the jam, too. I knew when I was warming up that in this situation...

I just can’t wait to get back. I’m going to be so pumped up to get out there in the World Series. It’s going to be amazing.

We needed it to be perfect and we got it. They rolled it and it was an awesome play.

Thank goodness I got another chance, … Obviously, I wanted to redeem myself.

[The middle relievers] have thrown so well in the late innings this season that I haven’t had to throw nearly as many innings as I did last year.

When Roger pitches, you expect that just about anything can happen,

Certainly it makes us play at the top of our level consistently right into the playoffs. If the team clinches early, there can kind of be a lull there where you have to get fired...

A lot of guys know what I throw at this point in my career. This gives them something else to think about.

Obviously, I wanted to get back in there, … I was happy to get the opportunity to get in the game tonight. Anyone would want to get back in as fast as they can after...

(Catcher) Brad (Ausmus) did a great job of timing that one. He was set up for a high fastball to make it look like I was going to throw a high fastball, so maybe the...

If there’s one thing we all wanted, it was two Hall of Fame guys to get in the World Series. It’s something they deserve and worked so hard for for so many years. It feels...

I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me, and nobody is,

If we weren’t playing for anything, I don’t know if he’d be doing this. It’s got to inspire everyone to see him out there.

Everybody could use Billy Wagner, … There’s not one team that could not use a guy like Billy Wagner. He’s the best there is in baseball. He dominates guys. He played in a hitter-friendly park...

It’s something very competitive and we’re all very competitive people.

This is a bump in the road, but there’s no way this is going to get anybody down, … This will sting a lot tonight, but when I wake up tomorrow I’ll be ready to...

It wouldn’t have surprised me if Roger went nine more innings and hit the home run himself.

A lot of people thought that was the end of the series. I don’t feel a weight lifted. I never had a doubt that this team would be here.

If I was more concerned, it would be a bad problem. Tonight, I’ll be upset with myself. Tomorrow, I’ll come back out and feel the same as I would if I had eight (saves) in...

I’m definitely enjoying the days off, … For me, it’s nice to have some recovery time.

That’s part of the season, though, and every so often that will come up, and when it does you do the best you can to find your way into a game and pitch well.

I just didn’t want to fall behind, 3-and-1, … and take a chance of him getting on base. So I just wanted to throw a strike.

You always feel like he is about as far ahead as any catcher in the game. He knows the hitters, he knows what trends they have, so very rarely, will I even think twice about...

I don’t want to fall behind 3-1 and have a chance of him getting on base. I wanted to throw him a strike. It probably got too much of the plate. Obviously, it did. My...

Getting this far almost leaves a bitter taste in your mouth,

It gave me chills to watch Baggy do that. We’ve got some momentum going right now. We’re doing the things we need to do to win games, and when Baggy comes off the bench and...

I’m not really using either of them a lot, just occasionally against certain hitters, and I don’t use them as my main pitches for outs. But I feel good enough about them to use them...

He gave me a call after those outings didn’t go well, … He talks to me on occasion when things aren’t going great. He says ‘don’t change anything; you know you’re the best.’ He is...

I’ve always felt like I’d answer everybody’s questions until I thought the issue had run its course. At some point, I have to turn the page, and everybody else does, too.

the pitches were too far inside. That was a big mistake to walk Edmonds.
