Just spent a few minutes with Jamie Moyer, who said he did, indeed, feel lousy yesterday. "During the game, I didn't really feel it," Moyer said. "I felt it more in the dugout. I don't know what it was, if it was a virus or the flu. We're not on the West Coast or anything, but your body clock is messed up. You're in different cities, you're traveling, the games don't start until 8:30. It's like everything is upside down. I feel a lot better today. I don't feel like I'm out of the woods yet. But, to me, it was a moot point. I had the opportunity to pitch, so I was going to pitch."

I asked Moyer if he ever felt like he wouldn't be able to pitch.

"No," he said.

So, I asked Moyer how sick he'd have to be for that to happen.

"I don't know," he said. "I don't think I've ever been that sick."
