If someone met me on a game day, he wouldn't like me. The days in between, I'm the goodest guy you can find.

It was an exciting time for me personally because the number of times I've been to the playoffs, that was the opportunity to obtain the first ring. That was special, that's for sure.

My only day off is the day I pitch (in regards to how hard he works out during off-days).

I wish there was a bar I could send opposing teams to and get them hammered or something - I could tell my buddies in New York to leave their places open or something. Playing for the Yankees, guys come at you extremely hard. I have to be ready or I'll be embarrassed

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.

When I get too much rest, I'm usually erotic.

Everybody kind of perceives me as being angry. It's not anger, it's motivation.
