Fenway is the essence of baseball

In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted; if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.

God is living in New York, and he's a Mets fan.

My pitch count as a general rule was 135. And I knew how many pitches I had when I went to the mound for the last three innings.

There is no set numerical value you can put on a pitcher. Theyre all different.

The concentration and dedication- the intangibles are the deciding factors between who won and who lost.

The artful pitcher must take the inevitable peaks and valleys of pitching in stride and never give in to the batters or lose sight of his/her own strengths.
