I'm ready to do something different.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

It's a really neat and special coincidence, but it's nothing but a coincidence. This wasn't set up to give Matt that honor. It's just the way it worked out. It's a neat extra.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

To me, there is no more conscientious umpire in the Major Leagues than Jim Joyce. He gives you a hellacious effort every time.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.
