War is by no means something glamorous, and I don't think that should ever be forgotten.
Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.
In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.
My father left me with a saying that I've carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: 'Tough times don't last, tough people do,'
We'll show up in spring training and get ready for the season and try to win another World Series, ... It's not like we're going to have a sit-down.
The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game, or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most.
Today was very much a struggle for me from a consistency standpoint. I did struggle, command-wise, getting ahead. I had trouble being consistent tonight. I take solace in the fact that when we needed to make some pitches, early in the game, we made 'em.

I don't think it's any one thing. It happened at the same time last year.
From the outset I didn't feel like I had very good command of my fastball. I threw some good splits, I thought I hung two and they got hit. But I had real spotty command of my fastball.
