He's got nasty stuff, that guy. He threw it exactly where I was looking.

For a guy to get shunned by another organization and come over here and do what he's done, ... it's a great story.

You have to resist the urge to think that way. It's hard to do, block that stuff out, but it's something we have to do.

He's a fiery, mean type of guy, ... but in a good way. He's an in-your-face type of guy that keeps you on your toes. He's so competitive, and takes it to a different level.

If the guy that writes you checks says cut your hair, off to the barber shop you go. That's that.

Since halfway through last year this guy has probably been the best pitcher in the major leagues. I don't think anyone's been better. I'm just glad I don't have to face him. He's nasty. On a cold night, you give him some runs to work with and he's going to be tough.
