I made too many mistakes in the games - throwing, fielding, pitching. So far, this season has been weird to me. I can't worry about that. I have to worry about the future and cut some of my pitches per inning, and that's what we'll do. I have 30 more starts to go.

I am one of the guys that thinks you never have to give up. When you have that 'X' that says you're eliminated, then you give up.

We're still fighting for something. We still have a chance to do a lot of things.

I don't think about that. I will think about that when I have the trophy in my hands. I just said that in spring training, and I'll just let it happen.

I tried to throw a fastball inside, and the ball kind of slipped out of my hand where I didn't want to throw it. That was a big mistake. If I walk Chipper in that situation and get a groundball with the next hitter, then nothing happens and I should win the game 2-0.
