I’ve been doing my job. I’m just trying to erase my record.

Not many players can say they hit a home run off Roger. I let (Valenzuela) keep the souvenir.

[Loaiza won last Sunday over the Philadelphia Phillies, pitching on three days of rest.] It’s up to the chief, … Actually, it’s up to us and how we feel. I feel fine.

We have four more days together as a team, … and then I’ll be sitting at home looking at the playoff games – and we should be there.

He knows me and I know him. What else can I say? He’s a good hitter.

I was just throwing my pitches for strikes and whatever happened, happened. I got some strikeouts and I worked quick. I wanted to work fast and try to get guys out,

I would love to be back, but the pressure is on [interim general manger] Jim Bowden. The team has to get ownership first before any decisions are made.

I think I went out there today trying to hit my spots and change speeds, and throw my sinkers and cutters on both sides of the plate. I think the first two hitters that I...

Mexico is usually more about the World Cup of soccer, but people are interested in this because we have a good team. We have a lot of players who’ve had success in their careers. Looking...

I’d love to be back.

When you’re representing your country, one thing you do is give it all you’ve got. After I got back [to Spring Training], I had a couple extra days off and didn’t really play on the...

You have to do what you have to do. Let’s go. We have to win.

It’s up to everybody individually to take care of himself. We know we have a long season … If you are playing in the Classic, you have to start thinking about it early. If you...

I got the first one out of the way. I have 36 more starts leading in the playoffs. Then we’ll go from there. I tried and wanted to get first-pitches strikes but it didn’t work...

It’s nice, but there’s still a lot of game left. All I had on my mind was putting up zeros.

That’s going to be really outstanding. It should be a great experience. I know everyone here is looking forward to Tuesday.

I’ve been in the league for a long time. I just have to get it out of my head and think about Minnesota.

I’m always traded and moving, … I’d like to stay in one place, and I’d like to stay here.

My pitching wasn’t always in the strike zone. I never thought that would happen. It’s too bad it couldn’t have been like in Phoenix.

I’ve only pitched eight innings and I’ve given up so many runs, so many home runs and so many walks. This is the first time in my career I’ve done this in two starts.

You know how he gets. Guillen is Guillen.

The television ads promoted the United States, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. They never mentioned Mexico. So we had to prove ourselves on the field.

It’s kind of hard for me right now, especially all the good stuff I’ve had in Chicago and the success I’ve had here … but the Yankees are the Yankees, … It’s a big shock...

I’m upset, but things happen for a reason. I think they don’t want it to affect my right arm. I could try to push it more, but there’s a lot more season left, so they...

We’re trying to climb up there in the division and the wild card, … We’re playing good ball right now, and we have to come back (Thursday) and get a win.

This game wasn’t about me, it is about us the entire team, the entire nation of Mexico. If we pitchers keep putting up zeros and we hit like we did tonight, I think we can...

You always hear about the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico —- but you never mention Mexico. You see commercials with those countries but never Mexico. I think we have to prove ourselves on the field.

In the first inning, all my pitches were right down the middle. I couldn’t get the ball where I wanted.

Losing last night, losing today makes it a little bit of a downer.

This is great for Mexico. You see commercials on the TV for all the baseball powerhouse countries and they mention Cuba, the Dominican, Puerto Rico, Venezuela. They don’t mention Mexico. Maybe now they will.

I’m a horse, … I’ve been around. I’ve been in the playoffs. I’ve pitched in tough situations. … If we need to do that, we’re capable of doing it.

I wanted to go out there and battle, … We needed this win. I wanted to put some zeroes on the board, and my teammates responded well with the bats.

If that’s what it takes.

I was going to keep it, but I gave it to Mario because it was really a home run and it was off Roger Clemens.

Coming back from the Classic I got sick and that messed up my routine. Once I can get back into a regular routine I’ll work at it and throw strikes again.
