Any time you're facing a playoff-calibre team, it's always nice to show well, ... You never know when you might meet them next.
The last time we got in a fight (with the Padres during spring training in 2002), we won the series. I'd be OK if that happens again.
The contract has nothing to do with it anymore. It's time to pitch.
They've got a lot of guys over there who can swing the bats, and it's definitely a challenge every time you face them. But I was able to command pretty much all four of my pitches and I was hitting spots.
I thought our pitching staff was pretty good last year. Any time you can add a guy like Weaver, it definitely adds to your depth.
