You're just trying to throw the best pitch you can and make sure you hit your spots. I don't have to force nobody.

I know there are millions of people praying for me, and I strongly believe in prayers.

I don't have control over everything; God has control over everything and I trust him, so I don't worry.

I get over bad games right away. Sometimes I've let it go even before I've left the mound. That quick. Why? Because it's over. What can you do about it? Nothing. The only thing you can do is fight if you're still in the game. After that you can do nothing.

That's the game of baseball - amazing things happen.

If I have to win one game, I’d have a hard time taking anybody over Dustin Pedroia as my second baseman.

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.
