I like a challenge, and I would like to pitch against the Dominican Republic at the World Baseball Classic.

If you walk somebody, you just have to get the next hitter out. You can't be frustrated about walks or who is on base. If you've got good stuff that night, you're good enough to get the next hitter out.
-
I was lost on that play. I lost concentration a little bit. I thought he was on the bag. I made a mistake.
-
Maybe next Spring Training, I will work on that.
-
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.

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
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
That was a good at-bat, and I think that was the key of the game. He's getting more comfortable.
-
That was fun. I wasn't playing like we were trying to win the world championship or the World Cup ... just take it easy.
-
Ten years from now I will tell you how I feel about umpires.
-
I don’t have to apologize to anyone. This is not a baby’s game, this is a man’s game.
-
I enjoy when I strike someone out. I enjoy when I do my job.
-
I just told him to run the bases and don't try to be cocky.
-
I really wasn't looking to strike people out, ... I was looking to get groundballs.
-
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.
-
Hopefully, it's nothing and he'll be ready for the season. I wish him luck and hope he gets healthy.
-
I told him, 'Run the bases, don't try to be cocky
-
You have to enjoy the game. I enjoy everything about life.
-
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.
-
My first three games, I was worried too much about walking and hitting people.

My dad's very temperamental. Even today, he can be difficult.
