If there was any magic formula, it was getting to pitch every fourth day.

I don't know if cortisone is good for you or not. But to take a shot every other ball game is more than I wanted to do and to walk around with a constant upset stomach because of the pills and to be high half the time during a ball game because you're taking painkillers ... I don't want to have to do that.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody with quicker hands than Soriano.

A guy that throws what he intends to throw, that's the definition of a good pitcher.

The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews.

I've got a lot of years to live after baseball and I would like to live them with the complete use of my body.

I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.
