I enjoy when I strike someone out. I enjoy when I do my job.
-
Maybe next Spring Training, I will work on that.
-
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.
-
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 don’t have to apologize to anyone. This is not a baby’s game, this is a man’s game.
-
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.

He told me basically this is your ballgame and the ball is in your hand
-
That was a good at-bat, and I think that was the key of the game. He's getting more comfortable.
-
I think I was out of the game mentally, ... I was fighting with the umpires, and I was mad at (Murton). ... I apologized to him. I have five years in the big leagues. I don't have to do that.
-
I believe this year, I can win the Cy Young, and besides that, we will win the World Series. I guarantee that. I have faith in 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.
-
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.
-
My first three games, I was worried too much about walking and hitting people.
-
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 fun. I wasn't playing like we were trying to win the world championship or the World Cup ... just take it easy.
-
I don’t know. But it’s my option. I don’t want to leave Chicago. I want to be successful here. I want to help this team, like I always say, be in the pennant race… I don’t want to leave, and I don’t think I will leave.
-
When you know yourself, you know you can change and do something. You think of the mistakes you make and don't make the same mistake again.
-
I just told him to run the bases and don't try to be cocky.
-
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.

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.
