Short of baseball and my family, it was gaming. And gaming is a $20-million to $200-million multi-year effort. It's an insane, stupid and utterly irresponsible act. But I did it.

I did all the stupid things you'd expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.

Before I pitch any game, from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series, I'm scared to death.

I care what people think, but that doesn't change what I say. I am who I am.

I am much more of a geek than I am an athlete.

I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up.

I don't pitch for contracts.
