I'm not a negative-minded person. But maybe to keep me humble, I look more at my bad games in big situations than good ones.

It gives me great peace to know that no matter how good or how bad I do, the Lord loves me. That's all that really matters to me. Baseball isn't what everything is about. It's about the way I'm being a Christian husband, a Christian father, or the way I'm living my life and trying to be a Christian testimony to people.

You've got to have camaraderie or togetherness on a baseball team if you want to win.

If you put the ball in the right place, you don't have to throw hard.

When I take the mound in Yankee Stadium I feel like my stuff is going to be better than ever.

I'm going to give up hits, so I'm going to need to get some ground balls, double plays and stuff like that. That's just kind of my game.

I was throwing a lot harder than I ever have at the end of last year. I got to ninety-five (mph) a couple of times in the World Series and I'm more of an eighty-eight or eighty-nine guy who relies on location and movement.
