That's a gift from God. I'm there to pitch.
-
I was lost on that play. I lost concentration a little bit. I thought he was on the bag. I made a mistake.
-
It's going to be hard to win without Wood and Prior. We have to do the best things possible with the other pitchers we have. We have a great offense. When those two guys come back, we'll be much better.
-
The thing I've seen about people on the computer and the Internet is that it's addicting. We told him not to get on it, and you turn around and he's on the computer.
-
Maybe next Spring Training, I will work on that.
-
In the first inning, there is always something wrong. I hit somebody, I walk somebody, there's a blooper. But that's part of the game. You have to be able to control yourself and make good pitches to get yourself out of trouble.
-
We're hanging in there, staying within two or three games of first place. That we're pretty close without Prior and Wood is a good sign.
-
Ten years from now I will tell you how I feel about umpires.
-
If you throw 200 innings or more, you have to be in shape. If you work on your diet and strength, it will help you be in perfect shape for the playoffs
-
That was fun. I wasn't playing like we were trying to win the world championship or the World Cup ... just take it easy.
-
I always say what happened in the past - and I've said this before - what happened in the past, is already in the past, and you have to leave it in the past. You have to get experience from that. The next season, you have to not make that mistake.

I enjoy when I strike someone out. I enjoy when I do my job.
-
That was a good at-bat, and I think that was the key of the game. He's getting more comfortable.
-
Hopefully, it's nothing and he'll be ready for the season. I wish him luck and hope he gets healthy.
-
I don’t have to apologize to anyone. This is not a baby’s game, this is a man’s game.
-
I really wasn't looking to strike people out, ... I was looking to get groundballs.
-
You have to enjoy the game. I enjoy everything about life.
-
I told him, 'Run the bases, don't try to be cocky
-
I've been working hard on strength and conditioning. When you do a good job and take care of your body, at the end of the season you feel strong.
-
Luck is something you always need to have. We have more chance than the Cardinals. They don't have some of the players they had last year, like Matt Morris. We have to start winning the first month, as many games as possible. We have a good team. We have everything.
-
My dad's very temperamental. Even today, he can be difficult.
-
My first three games, I was worried too much about walking and hitting people.
-
For me, mentally I'll prepare like a normal game, like I was the No. 4 starter. I just wanted to be focused for the game and not worry about anything else, not think about it being opening day.
-
I just told him to run the bases and don't try to be cocky.
