Scott Alan Eyreis a former left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball... (wikipedia)
Second place, obviously, is the first loser, but I'll still take the first loser as opposed to third place,
Nobody likes a loser. And second place is the first loser.
He got hosed today. I hope I can say that without getting in trouble.
You don't realize you are only five or six games out when you are 11 games under .500.
We were down against a good Cardinals team and came back to beat them twice. We've got 25 guys doing their jobs.
We go about our business seriously, but we like to have a good time, too.
What happened to guys this season reminds you it's a business. Those guys were friends, and they said some things they felt had to be said. But you have a job to do, and you have to move on.
The season's pretty much on the line right there, isn't it? That's the biggest hit of the year so far.

I've become a better pitcher because I've learned to economize, ... I can throw four or five days in a row, and when Felipe (Alou) gets me up, I almost always come into the game, so there isn't a lot of wasted energy.

Personally, I don't think I've talked to anyone in here who thought we were out of it.
They're still on my list, No. 1 on the list. I guess you could say with the people I've talked to, I'm trying to get three years and my agent thinks I could get more.
It's not my fault, but you always think, 'Well, if I don't throw the ball ... I thought I could flip and get him out, and D-Lee said the same thing to me. I am hard on myself. I always figure I should get everything right. I don't get everything right.
I want to see what other teams are going to be offering, ... It's hard to say what the market's going to be. I feel like I've pitched well enough to deserve to find out what I am worth. If the Giants make something nice, I'll consider it very heavily.
I'm 33, not 25, ... I don't want to talk about free agency. I'm focusing on the games this week, but I know it's an opportunity to do something. But everything being equal, I want to stay here.
I like pitching, I like being out there. The more I pitch, the more I feel like an everyday player.
I have no problems with the umpires. I should have come back with good pitches after that, and I didn't.
In the heat of the moment I looked to my right and thought I could flip it and get him out. I am hard on myself. I always figure I should get everything right and you don't get everything right.
I know I'm a free agent and having a good summer, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can contribute to this team to make up six games, ... Everyone knows this is where I want to come back to, but I don't want to think or talk about it until I get to that glitch in the matrix.
He's the one who put a finger down and pointed inside,
