I get a little tense on the mound. I don't know why. It's just something about pitching. But hitting like this helps me relax.

When you walk off the mound pitching like that against anybody, you're going to get an ovation. When it's against the Red Sox, that's something I don't think he'll ever forget.

Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.

Pitching is 80% of the game and the other half is hitting and fielding.

Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

Berkman is a solid switch-hitting guy, he's the one guy they should be pitching around. Berkman is a different hitter in Houston than on the road. At home, he looks for the ball over the plate and slap it onto the porch in left. On the roach he tries to be a pull hitter. Kornerko is solid power hitter and a real good breaking ball hitter. They are the two guys who can beat you.
