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

If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.

I think God gave talent to different people in different areas.

Fishing is a hard job. Fishing at night. Rain. Day, night. You have to be wise and smart. And quick.

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.

I learned early in my life that sometimes I'm going to lose. I don't like it, but I accept it, meaning that I understand it's going to happen. But I don't see it like defeat; I see it like a learning process. Then if there's nothing to learn, I move on.

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