Bartolo Colon Next Quotations

The next one is a start I'm looking forward to, hopefully to put this one behind me.

It's been four days of pain in my back. I knew I could get through the fifth, but it felt worse the longer I was in the game. Right now it is very tight. It would be very tough to give you an answer if I'm going to miss my next start.

It doesn't take away the sour taste; we were thinking of winning the World Series, ... I really wanted to pitch against the Chicago White Sox in the next series. If it had been my back, I wouldn't have come out.

Any time I take the mound, Alex is a dangerous guy. It's not the first time he's gotten me, and it won't be the last. He obviously feels very good against me, but I know that can change quickly, too. I'll locate my pitches better against him next time.

Any time I take the mound against him, Alex is a dangerous hitter. This was not the first time he got me and it won't be the last. I'm confident I will locate against him better the next time. He is a great hitter; I have a lot of respect for him.

I feel a lot better right now just by making this start. I will make the next start.
