baseball love-is thinking
You can go up in the air and everything is gone. You know, you don't think about baseball. You don't think about anything. It's just something that takes you away from everyday life. I love being in a plane and looking down to see traffic on the freeway.
guy weight may
I may not be in the weight room as much as some guys, but I get my work done.
play guy coins
On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100%.
airplane bus ifs
Really, anyone can learn how to fly. If you can drive a bus, you can fly an airplane.
airplane flying safe
The flying? I'm not worried about it. I'm safe up there. I feel very comfortable with my abilities flying an airplane.
beautiful rivers east
You've never seen Manhattan 'til you've flown right up the East River. It's beautiful.
dog mistake good-friend
I made a lot of good friends in Philadelphia and the last thing that I would want to do is dog anyone in that clubhouse. If I made it sound like that, it was a mistake.
attitude team spring
If I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.
air land ninety-nine
Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.
goal guy mind
Sometimes I felt I got caught up kind of going into the clubhouse non-chalantly sometimes, because all of the other guys in the clubhouse didn't go there with one goal in mind.
years preparation rotation
I've learned over the years that it doesn't matter where you pitch in the rotation. For me, preparation is everything.
billy game knowing meant played
When I was in Oakland, knowing that Billy had played the game meant a lot.
