Courageous Comments By Johnson
From the NYT:
"You look at Maddux and you look at Clemens, those guys and myself, we're all in our early 40's," Johnson said. "We're not going to go seven, eight, nine innings anymore. There's going to be games where we do, and tonight I was trying to pick up the bullpen. But you can only do the smoke-and-mirrors thing so long out there against good-hitting teams."
Too bad he didn't realize that during contract negotiations.

To be fair, he just came off a brilliant season in AZ where he pitched a perfect game. We swooped in five years too late on this guy. Raise our bullpen, Randy! RAISE IT UP!
