My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with the bad.

I love the fans and I appreciate how much they care for me.

If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.

You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.

When I went back to Shea last year it really hit me how much the fans care for me, it still gives me goose bumps. I want to do the right thing for them and my family.

I've done enough wrong on my own, I don't want to get blamed for something I didn't do.
