Don't worry about what the people say; be yourself, say what you want to say WITH respect.

I never give up. If you beat me, you have to beat me one, three, four, five times, and I still don't give up.

Every time before I throw my first pitch, I am praying. And not only that, in the bullpen I am praying.

I'm human -- all I do is try to do my job. When I don't do it, the way it happened today, it's out of my control. He put the ball in play and it happened to find a hole. I wish I could take it back, but I can't. You move on.

I want to give my respect, glory and time to the Bible - to the word of God - just as I want to give my respect and time to my work.

I don't think any professional accepts defeat.

Baseball was just the avenue that the Lord used so I can provide for my family.
