The past two games, we've played five innings of good baseball. They continued to put pressure on us, and we just didn't make the plays.

It's the oldest franchise in Major League Baseball. For anybody to get that Opening Day start, it's an honor. But I'm going to go out and get ready for the season, build up some innings and get my arm in shape this spring.

Craig is not going to overpower anybody, but he did what we needed and that is to work at least seven innings. He threw close to 120 pitches, and we felt like he was very comfortable in his delivery. Craig is the story of the game.

At the end of six innings of play, it's Montreal 5, Expos 3.

I had more of an opportunity to use it (yesterday) than in the previous game because I'd given up a hit early in both my innings and had to work from the stretch. I was just working on going over the head with the glove and staying a little more quiet ? with more of a direction towards home plate.

This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings.
|
The final score after eight innings is Giants 3, Padres 2.

Another club can be beating you for six innings but for some reason the good ball clubs get tough and win them in the last three.
