Everyone focuses on the earthly state, but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth, and I can't wait to experience that.

I can relate to anyone. I can hang out with stoners, skaters, surfers, stockbrokers, lawyers, athletes, rappers. I feel I can hang out with any group of people and find common ground to talk with them.

I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

We speak for the entire Giants organization when we say that there is no place in society for hatred and bullying against anyone.

The outfield is solid, so is the catching and the infield.

I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.

I'm not trying to be cocky, but I set such a high standard for myself. I'm not happy when I pitch seven innings and give up two runs and get a win.
