We'll see. I enjoy coming to the ballpark every day. It's a good life. Mentally I don't want to give it up.
It's just pitching, man. I'm just pitching. I'm getting ready to pitch in five more days.
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 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.
The outcome of the game is something that, as a starting pitcher, is very hard to control. Just worry about making pitches. And leave it at that.
I guess I would deal with it when the time came, but right now it's not an issue.
I know I don't throw very hard anymore, but I'd like to think I can still hurt a guy who's not looking.
If they want me I'd love to come back. I'm not going to play because I can, I'm going to play because I deserve it.
He was trying to change it up a little bit, give me a breather.
Hopefully, the same as the 30s. We'll see. I don't know -- I've never been 40 before.
I think he wants to win more than the other guy. I think he is in total control when he is out there. I really do. Total control.
Julio Franco once said age is just a number. I'm beginning to agree with him.
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.
