What has benefited me the most is learning I can't control what happens outside of my pitching.

I look forward to another good year next year. It would be nice to win, too.

I daydream just like everybody else. I just do it with my body facing the field, so everybody thinks I'm paying attention.

You're not going to win by automatically going out there. It's hard to know what people really expect of you, and I've never tried to live up to expectations anyway. That's no way to play baseball.

I was under the impression I had signed a three-year contract. I want to be back. I expect to be back. I will be back.

There are a lot of shots in golf I can't hit, but I try to hit them anyway. The frustration is not there, because I'm still learning. But I really know how to do this. I'm not just hoping to get it where I want it... Let the other guys do it half-assed.

If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.
