Oh man, it felt great out there. It felt like everything was working all the way through.

I think it's time for me to get a major-league job. I really don't know what else I have to prove in the minor leagues. I've won at every level. I've done everything I can do.

I pitched with a chip on my shoulder and it actually worked out good for me.

I faced Chris Carpenter in my last start, and he's probably going to win the Cy Young Award, so it didn't faze me at all.

I hope they don't judge me on this one. Or the ones before it.

I'm going to cherish this for a long time. He's a pitcher I grew up idolizing and wanted to be like.
