I Have A Future And I Have

My Buddy David Wells Is A Big Motorcycle Guy, So When I Go Visit Him In San Diego, He Takes Me Out On His Bike. He's Got Some Antique Indians. I Never Really Rode During My Career, Because I Was Afraid I'd Fall Off And Ruin My Career.

I've Always Noticed How The Fenway Fans Get Behind The Pitcher, Especially Late In The Game If You're Having A Good Game, Or If You Have Two Strikes On A Hitter, They Really Start To Chant And Anticipate A Strikeout. And That's The Best Part About Playing In Boston And At Fenway. There Are Knowledgeable Fans Who Anticipate The Flow Of The Game And They Can Really Help Out The Pitcher.

Part Of What Makes You Great As A Young Player Can Hurt You At The End Of Your Career, In Terms Of You Need A Certain Amount Of Ego, A Certain Amount Of Arrogance To Be Able To Play Well And To Push Yourself And Trick Yourself Into Thinking You're Better Than You Really Are.

We Played Hard And We Partied Hard. I'm Not Ashamed Of That. I Was No Angel - I Did Some Things I Shouldn't Have Done, Lived A Lifestyle I Shouldn't Have Lived. I Had A Blast At Times; Other Times, I Probably Compromised My Job, My Duty To Do My Job, To Be Ready As A Professional.

I Love Being Out There On The Mound With The Ball In My Hand. I Can Control The Game. I'm Out There. No Clock - Nothing Happens Until I Throw That Thing. Nothing Happens. I Love That Feeling.
