I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right.

I just try to do what I have to do and let the people out there do what they have to do, which is have fun, scream, yell and jump around. I try to do what I have to do, which is play baseball, and I can only play in that piece of area there, so that's what I try to do.

I wasn't playing mind games with anybody, I just said what I said. I am responsible for it, but I wish everybody would fall asleep for that one and let me go out there and do my thing.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm.

Every time I feel mad or something, I run somewhere. It gets my frustrations away. I run and run and run.

You can't have a family when you're playing because you're away from home so much. So believe me, I won't be pitching forever. I won't make it to 300 wins or anything like that. No way.
