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

I would love to try to win another game. Obviously, it's more fun when you win. I'd rather try and not win than not try at all.

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

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.

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.

When people say (nice) things you take them as compliments and it's nice, but it won't help you win your next game. The thing I am trying to keep in mind is that relying on my past performance will not make me win my next game, it'll only get in my way.
