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

Consistency is something you can always improve on. You can be more consistent with your mental approach, the things you do physically on the mound. Instead of doing 5 good pitches an inning, try to make six. You can always do more of what you are doing well and try to be as consistent as you can be.

Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound

People judge too much by results. I'm just the opposite. I care about more than results. I'd rather make a good pitch and give up a bloop single than make a bad pitch and get an out.

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.

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