Brandon McCarthy:"I went on one of my standard long-winded monologues, and I touched on
the subject that was asked but I ran all over," McCarthy said with a
laugh. "My answer sounded negative and it wasn't meant that way.
"The question was posed to me as to which clubhouse was a better fit,
and I said this clubhouse [with Texas] because it's so young, so open
and fun. But that's not to say I was miserable in Chicago. Not at all.
I loved all those guys and had no bad feelings."
"I can see why they'd be upset,'' Anderson said. ''Brandon was getting
lit up, and I was batting .150, and they see us eating late and having
a beer. It doesn't look good, but it wasn't a point where our
extracurricular activities were getting in the way of baseball. It
never has."
Thanks, guys.
