I'm up for it, ... We just need to be successful.

The fans mean everything, ... The feeling I get when I pitch is amazing. It's the best feeling. Words can't describe it. The fans mean so much.

[--] You need to add a 40-home-run guy and a guy who hits .310, that's two hitters, ... You need to re-sign Jeff Weaver, the innings he gives us are priceless....

I knew I had the mental attitude to be a closer, it was just a matter of doing it in the major leagues, ... As a starter, you have to be more relaxed, you have to control your emotions more.

That was my best time in baseball there. He's the best ever.
