I Have Far Too Many Skeletons In

We Played Hard And We Partied Hard. I'm Not Ashamed Of That. I Was No Angel - I Did Some Things I Shouldn't Have Done, Lived A Lifestyle I Shouldn't Have Lived. I Had A Blast At Times; Other Times, I Probably Compromised My Job, My Duty To Do My Job, To Be Ready As A Professional.

I Think I Rushed And I Needed More Time With My Comeback. I Needed More Time To Get My Legs Stronger To Be Able To Handle The Workload. You Can Only Train For That By Pitching Innings. You Can't Simulate Pitching Off A Mound In A Game Inside A Weight Room.

At Nighttime, You Just Try To Keep Him Out Of Jail.

I've Always Noticed How The Fenway Fans Get Behind The Pitcher, Especially Late In The Game If You're Having A Good Game, Or If You Have Two Strikes On A Hitter, They Really Start To Chant And Anticipate A Strikeout. And That's The Best Part About Playing In Boston And At Fenway. There Are Knowledgeable Fans Who Anticipate The Flow Of The Game And They Can Really Help Out The Pitcher.

Part Of What Makes You Great As A Young Player Can Hurt You At The End Of Your Career, In Terms Of You Need A Certain Amount Of Ego, A Certain Amount Of Arrogance To Be Able To Play Well And To Push Yourself And Trick Yourself Into Thinking You're Better Than You Really Are.
