That's how you win - pitching and defense.

The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward.

My grandmother asks me to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it. Competitive to a fault, sometimes.

I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.

I go into every game thinking I'm going to be the hero. I have to, or I wouldn't enjoy it.
