I don't even have a date when I'm going to get on the mound and throw.

We're not going to overpower anybody on the mound, but we've got some guys that can throw strikes. That's what we need.

Erica is modest. It eases me when she is out on the mound.

Johnny Sain doesn't say much, but that don't matter much, because when you're out there on the mound, you got nobody to talk to.

I think he'll probably throw off the mound soon. Obviously, he's going to have to get off the mound sometime. I just can't tell you exactly when.

I owe everything I have to them when I'm out there on the mound. But I owe the fans nothing and they owe me nothing when I am not pitching.
