I never mind looking like the dork or the geek or whatever, or the accountant or all that. It didn't bother me one bit. It's a lot hassle-free now. I have no hassles with my eyes other than the normal stuff. Maybe the sun is too bright.
I'm not getting any younger, ... I really want to play out the year and come back next season.
I guess I would deal with it when the time came, but right now it's not an issue.
It's what I do. I enjoy coming to the park every day. Mentally, I don't want to give it up. When it comes time to decide on next year, I will. But it's not time yet. There's too much in front of me right now to worry about.
It's still fun; I like it. I looked forward to coming here this morning, and I'll look forward to it again tomorrow. After a while, it might wear off a little bit, but I'm excited to be here. ... I still enjoy coming to the ballpark.
It's spring training, and you don't have to walk him. You've got that going for you. Yeah, it was fun to actually face him and not have to worry about winning the game and walking him.
They hit my mistakes well. I made plenty of them today and they took full advantage.
It's just pitching, man. I'm just pitching. I'm getting ready to pitch in five more days.
I took some time to reflect back on my experiences here because I guess you're going to blow it up once the season is over. Great fans, and all that. I'm sure they'll be the same fans just a block down the road or whatever.
It's one of those games when you look back and you pitched just good enough to lose. He (Willis) pitched a good game. We knew going into the game we needed to hold them close and we might get him later.
I've always felt the last one was kind of a waste. The last Spring Training start, it's like, 'God, I hope no one hits one off my knee or foot,' because you feel like you're ready to go.
My stuff was all right, but it's not about pitching good. It's about winning. I pitched just good enough to lose.
I take golf trips with my brother or with friends. We usually go to Pebble or Bandon Dunes. One year we went to Hawaii.
I don't care if we're out of it or not, if I've got a chance to pitch, I want to.
