When I first came up, the bullpen was pretty much where they put the guys who couldn't start.
You have to look at the history of the Middle East in particular. It has been one of failure and frustration, of feudalism and tribalism.
When the going got tough, I really had to draw on many of the same competitive instincts I did when I was skating. I really had to put my head down and stay positive. I had to fight.
