Tim Hudson People Quotations

You feel like a stud out there when people swing and miss. As I've gotten older, I've preached to our young guys that strikeouts are sexy, but outs are outs, man, no matter how you get them. It's a lot cooler for me pitching in the seventh or eighth inning than it is going 5 1/3. Your manager likes it a lot more, too.

I hate when people don't keep their word or they are late. Tardiness is a big pet peeve of mine.

We're an out-patient service. We can't keep people overnight. But we'll get on the phone and call around, to Tulsa or Joplin if necessary, to find a place to take them.

I've been keeping up with them, and it sucks for me, too. I still have a soft spot for all those guys, and I want them to win. People ask me if I'm happy they're having a bad season -- that's a ridiculous question to ask me.

It just feels like home. I have three young children and from the school system to recreation to the people this is just a place that feels right. The fact that it's only an hour and a half from where I work, just made it perfect.

My dad always told me to play hard and know that the people you're competing with and against are working just as hard or harder. So don't let them out-work you.
