My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win.

I'll always have a kid in me.

My idea is, I shine, you shine. If I'm doing well and you're with me, you do well.

Coaches have the worst hours in the world. They go home maybe twice a week. They're sleeping in their office. They're watching film. It's a brutal, brutal job and that's why I respect them so much.

With the game on the line. I want the ball in my hands.

I'm no Bob Gibson. I can tell you that.

I go through life with a smile because I know things can be worse than they are.
