A.J. Burnett Good Quotations

I was still upset. But I got some good phone calls last night ... and that eased me up a little bit and made me feel better. It's good news, but any setback at this time is not good news. But the best came from it.

What makes those other teams really good is that they don't fade.

I threw a lot of pitches early. You've got to put them away when you're ahead. I wasn't as good as I expected to be.

It felt really good. It was a good day. It was a big step forward.

The third inning was good, but something wasn't right. (The Jays) will take care of me. I'm not worried about that. I come back and it's just a scar tissue thing, I would expect to take a few extra days as opposed to being back on the same schedule as last time. If I threw five days later last time, why not wait until 15? Make sure everything is out of there for good ... whatever it is.

No matter how good I feel I got to take that extra day. It's been mentioned to me and I know for a fact that I'm needed down the road as opposed to now so however long it takes.

As far as the additions that the club's made and what the club already had here, it has a pretty good chance.

If I threw five days later last time, why not wait 10-15? Just make sure this thing's out of there for good -- whatever it is. There's a shark floating in there and we have to get it out.

All of the starters are feeding off each other. You feel good about what's going on here. We're just riding it out.
