When people are getting on me for being at a Ranger game at 7 o'clock at night, they don't see what I've done between yoga, Pilates, workout, thrown, ran, done all my work by 5 o'clock, ate, and then I went to the game. Nobody is seeing that. Nobody is commenting on that.
I'm here to win. I'm here to play, and who I hang out with is my choice.
You've got to stay positive and go out and work as hard as you can to fix things, and there are going to be adjustments throughout your career, and hopefully it's a long one, so figuring out how to stay out there and get people out is part of baseball.
I will never apologize for having a life.
I don't need to show anybody anything other than getting the guy out who is trying to make his money off of me.
For me, it's a feel thing; it's a mechanical thing.
That's obviously not easy. I don't want to leave the Mets; I don't want to not play in New York. It's not at all that I want to leave, but that's the business.
A lot of work is going in, and it's not paying off. And it's becoming very frustrating for me.
It's hard going out there and not doing what I can to help this team win.
The last thing I ever want to do is not be here with my team.
I just have to be better. There's not much else to say.
I'm not going to give up enjoying my life and doing the things that I'm interested in doing.
I did some things, including the Body Issue. I'm not going to say I regret doing that, but I think now if you asked me to do it, I would probably say no.
I would like to have two or three kids.
I can understand how people who don't really follow baseball can look at 'dead arm' and think the absolute worst. Basically, a dead arm is when your arm kind of feels a little heavy, kind of feels weak, and basically, it's just muscular fatigue.
When you work so much in between starts, you realize how long the season is. It's exciting to look at and be a part of, obviously. It's almost like a challenge, to see how, from start to start, things may feel a little differently.
