I love being out there on the mound with the ball in my hand. I can control the game. I'm out there. No clock - nothing happens until I throw that thing. Nothing happens. I love that feeling.

I think the changeup has become more popular recently by pitchers like Pedro Martinez and the success he had with it.

Today baseball is currently enjoying a run of more than 14 years without interruption, a record that would have been inconceivable in the 1990s.

I have far too many skeletons in my closet to think about any sort of serious mention of public office.

At nighttime, you just try to keep him out of jail.

It really gets into your system. All baseball players have this internal clock around February when it starts to kick in and the juices start to flow. I think underestimated how much I was going to miss it.
