“After missing a full month, I'm just not ready to start, and I think I proved that Sunday in Detroit. I pitched well out of the bullpen for two innings in Toronto, so the manager and I talked about it, and that's what I'll do the rest of the week here.”
Gil Meche
“You can't think about it once the game starts. And it feels a lot better than it did (Sunday).”
Deonte Tatum
“We think he'll be fine. If the game was Sunday, I think he'd be ready.”
Dom Capers
“You would think he gets another start. We'll see how it is on Sunday.”
Jerry Narron
“I'm not missing any starts. If I was going to miss a start, it would've been (Sunday). I know my body. It feels fine. There will be no controversy over this.”
Barry Zito
“I'm not missing any starts. No way. If I was going to miss a start, it would be (Sunday). Why am I so sure? Because I'm in my body and I feel it. I feel fine. There will be no controversy from this. I hope you guys squash this. I'm not happy at all that it's out there.”
“I think on Friday we didn't come out as ready as we came out (Sunday). Friday was kind of like a warm-up for us and hopefully it only took us one game to realize that we need to come out harder next time, and that's what we did, we came out harder and got things done today.”
