I haven't heard anything about that.

This is Ryan Franklin, fercryinoutloud! Get some hits!

It's not going to turn out that way many times. All year long when we've had a four-run lead, the bullpen has held it. The 'pen has done a great job all year. This was just a case of bad timing.

The testing has to be flawed. ...I don't believe it.

I felt great out there. My pitches did what I wanted them to do. My slider and changeup were about as good as they have been. I didn't feel like I was pitching on short rest.

I don't like this place. I got my first major league win here, and that's the most success I've had. (Texas has) probably the best-hitting infield in the game and it's a tough ballpark to pitch in.

Teams are different, but it all comes down to being able to throw your second-, third- and fourth-best pitches for strikes, ... My game is getting them to put it in play, and I can definitely take it into other games.

That was probably my most important pitch of the game. It was for me like what those guys [Putz, Sherrill] did in the seventh, keep the game close, give us a chance to get back into it.
