When I look back at the tapes, your first everything, your first All-Star Game, your first playoff experience, it just seems like it went by really fast.

If you're going to cook a fresh chicken, it's not a big concern. But if you're going to ship a chicken, there's a change in structure.

I don't want to speak to two empty chairs.

Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas. College baseball, I love it.

Every time I toe the rubber, it's no different for me than it was in the World Series.

I've lost a little bit of my fire... I don't want to say I've lost my passion.

If I put my mind to it, and I put the work in, I have no doubt I could do it (pitch 4-5 additional years), but I made a promise to the people who've supported me for so many years. It's time to give back to my family.
