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

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.

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

Going to Omaha for the College World Series - the people there are tremendous - huge crowds and a lot of excitement. I still remember those days - you make a lot of friends that you never forget when you win a championship like that.

If I get two strikes, I'll go to a pitch maybe that will help induce that a little bit.

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

You know in 1982, the year we came in tied for 3rd, we probably had a better team - I mean as far as talent. When we came back the following year and won it, our pitching staff was a little more experienced and it was such a thrill.
