"Every time I go out there I expect to win."

"Guys think I'm staring them down, but they watch ME for signs. Why can't I do the same to them?"

"I always heard that I was too small."

"I don't like to be the guy that stands out. I like kind of sneaking up on guys instead of being out front."

"I like a challenge. I always have."

"I'm just trying to stay aggressive and mix things up enough to be successful."

"It doesn't matter who's in the box. You go after them and get them out the best way you can."

"I've always been a guy who likes big games."

"I've always believed in leading by doing it on the field and having others follow. I've never thought that you have to be too outspoken in the clubhouse, as long as you set an example for guys to follow. People watch that more than they listen to some guy talking, no matter who he is."

"On any given night, I can throw a shutout."

"The thing about this game is pretty much everything you've done, somebody had done it before you."

"When you're from Weir, Mississippi, almost everywhere you go looks like the big city."

"He's a good pitcher-sometimes you've just got to tip your hat." - Ryan Freel

"What a great talent he is!" - Andy Pettitte
