“Pitchers really don't deal with the managers a whole lot. When we come...” — Jon Lester Quote

“Pitchers really don't deal with the managers a whole lot. When we come in the clubhouse, we see him, we say, 'Hey.' That's really it.”

“You still have to pitch the same game, execute your pitches as best you can. If the shadows end up helping you out, then great, but you can't really worry about that stuff.”

“Don't get me wrong: I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Even the word 'cancer' brings back the nausea and pain, the fear I felt, and the heartbreak I saw in my parents' faces. The smells that fill hospitals and the constant tired feeling that comes with treatment are also permanently stuck in my memory.”

“I'm like the Shaolin monk, the counselor in the clubhouse.”

“I may not be as visible as I used to be, and by that I mean being in the clubhouse or on the field. But I'm just as invested as I've always been.”

“Tony La Russa was quoted as saying that I was using steroids back then, and I was talking about it in the clubhouse, openly.”
