It took me a few years to realize that throwing harder wasn't always better.

The thing that got me over the hump was accepting that I had to do whatever I could to stay in the game

You aren't going to stick around long with just two pitches

When I first came up, the bullpen was pretty much where they put the guys who couldn't start.

I think today the players are too nice to one another, but that might change with the unbalanced schedule, with teams playing each other more and more. When you face each other that much, with that much at stake, something's bound to happen.

It took a great deal of acceptance to come to terms with being an alcoholic, but the acceptance was key to my sobriety. If I had not gained acceptance at that time in my life, I would not be standing here today.
