Pedro Martinez Quotations

The bigger the contract, the bigger the responsibility.

Whether you like it or not, the last few years I'd be the first one to tell you I haven't been the Pedro Martinez that I'm used to being.

I wasn't playing mind games with anybody, I just said what I said. I am responsible for it, but I wish everybody would fall asleep for that one and let me go out there and do my thing.

Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm.

I want to feel secure personally. Have a competitive team out there -- I really want to win; I hate losing -- and, I guess, I want to be treated like a normal person.

All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win.

If the shortstop makes an error, I am responsible. I let the batter hit the ball.

I like the challenge. I do not like the attention.

When I go to the plate, I think about putting the ball in play. It's important to get on base and get some walks, but I don't go to the plate thinking of walking.

Baseball is a game of the soul.
