Everything has gone beyond my expectations. I've had a great summer, and the fans have been tremendous. Chicago has taken us in and has been great.

I try to stay as low-key as possible, watch him pitch and eat some peanuts. If one person figures it out, they all do.

Playing in such a great sports town and seeing the fan support was outstanding. But I wish we would have won that last game.

I threw her a changeup low and she got to it. I probably shouldn't have followed a curve with a changeup.

Lord willing, I'll be back. Casey is thrilled, and from Day 1 [of their marriage], he couldn't wait to be a father.

I saw the ball and only the black sky. I didn't watch after that.

I was just battling the at-bat before. I wasn't being patient or selective. I was a little too aggressive.
