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.

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

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.

I was pitching on all adrenaline and challenging them. I was throwing the ball right down the heart of the plate.

I've been very fortunate. I feel very thankful. I've been able to come home and do some fun things and make it exciting for people here at home

I wasn't scared (during his first at-bat). I just told them (Mo Vaughn & Kevin Mitchell') to give me all that hockey equipment (forearm pad & shin guard respectively).
