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

Never is a concept the Yankees won't ever come across.

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.

He (Tommy Pettitte [father] coached me as kid. He bought all the books and videos and tried to learn as much about pitching as he could. But once I was in high school, he never tried to be my coach.

Over my career, I think I've shown can make a big pitch.

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 count it an honor to play with some guys that I've watched play on television, and may be in the Hall of Fame some day.
