I'm not sure where my career is going here in Cincinnati.

I'm sure he'd like to end the year pitching, knowing Woody. If we can get him in there, we'll try to do that.

It's the same with pitching. You talk to Greg Maddux and I'm sure he has a game plan, but he also sometimes can feel when a guy is looking inside or if a guy is looking for something else or it depends on which pitch he takes and how he takes it. Some guys get it early, some guys get it late, some guys never get it.

That's not overrated. One thing's for sure. Good hitting really beats bad pitching. You can count on that one.

I got no one to root for. I sure as heck ain't rooting for the White Sox or Cardinals.

Everyone has a budget, I don't care who you are. But they said if we are in a pennant race in the middle of the summer they are going to get some help with added payroll.
