I'm here to help them in any way. They can't do anything that I haven't done on the mound. |
I'm motivated to come here and pitch well. I wasn't as good as the other day. ... But I pitched well enough to keep them off balance. |
I'm pretty certain this is my last start here, |
I'm the first to screw up more than anybody else. Yeah, you'd love not to have any, because it gets you that much further into a game. But I mess around and mess up and make bad pitches. Guys make errors. There's not one of those guys behind me that's dogging it or not trying their best. Really, I don't mind it to a point because it gives me a chance to show them I'm going to get an out and get them back in the dugout and make up for it. |
It provides self esteem to the individual. It also helps students do better in school. |
It's not like it's the first mistake I've made in my life. I've never professed to being perfect. |
It's so funny what this song did, ... I went to a movie the other night and when we came out there were a bunch of kids -- around 14 or 15 years old -- with their hats on backwards and sloppy clothes. They were so excited to see Kenny Rogers. They had heard the music before but it wasn't cool until now. |
Kenny Rogers is the staff ace but he'll be hard pressed to match his 13 wins from last year while serving as the Twins' fifth starter. |
Know when to hold 'um, know when to fold 'um and know when to walk away from cameramen. |

Local TV stations were hoping to ask him about it, but no photographer would take the assignment. |
My career's pretty much a major fluke. I probably wasn't the guy that was expected, or should have been in the big leagues or even the minor leagues when I first started. I was very fortunate in a lot of ways having people take a liking or just a chance on me. I've benefited by far more than anyone could have ever dreamed of. |
My location was good. That sets up the whole game if I can get in and out. If I can continue to do that, I'll be consistent. |
That's a good lineup over there. At 1-0, you really don't think a solo shot is going to beat you. But it was enough tonight. All four of their pitchers pitched great, kept us down and never gave us any air to get any runs. |
The governor has said that we [citizens of the state] have gained 360 million pounds. |
