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 know how you just don't like guys on the other team sometimes? It's funny because growing up I loved Roger (Clemens), loved to watch Roger pitch. Then when I was first in the big leagues and he was for the other team, I hated him.

I've pitched in a lot of big games.

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.

It kills me when I make a bad pitch...I want to be perfect out there.

Hitters get paid a lot of money to hit. Let's face it, man, sometimes they just do.
