    Since then, he's pitched better than just about anyone could have imagined. "I look at this situation as a blessing ... I mean, what else would I want? I'm doing the job I love. I'm doing something not everybody gets to do. If you consider the fact that I was, two months back, sitting at home not doing anything. None of you were thinking of me whatsoever. None of you were asking me questions, and today I am here, probably pitching one of the biggest games ever in the World Series."

  4. I expect it to be more of what he did last time, mixing up pitches ... Hopefully he doesn't bounce back as well. You feed off emotion, and a lot of guys it's hard to come back and be as good as they were the prior outing if they're maxed out. He was really into that last game, so hopefully it drained hi...

  5. I've got no choice but to expect that it will help me ... I feel really good. I feel like I had enough time to rest, plus the previous two outings with all those days, I guess this is just a makeup for all those days of rest I had.
