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

Chicago was big for me as far as developing as a person and as a basketball player.

Money isn't always going to make it happen. It's important to be around people that have the right kind of attitude, being happy about what you're doing.

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

I try to be a smart quarterback. I'm not the fastest or the best athlete, but if I can know what the defense is doing and stick to my job and what needs to be done I can make the plays needed to move the ball and score.

It's all about having fun. Play hard and fair, don't hurt anybody. Feel good about what you're doing and how you're doing it.

The pitch count situatio-it doesn't matter if you throw 120 or 80, whatever. It's the quality of pitches that you throw.
