I went to rehab for health reasons. I'm happy. I'm the same guy as back in the day, but I stopped drinking. I still go out with friends and have fun. But instead of drinking beer I'm drinking water.
More Quotes from Sidney Ponson:
With the offense this team has and the defense behind me, I don't worry about too much. I just have to pitch the way I'm capable of, and everything will work out well.Sidney Ponson
I knew why I was there. I could've tried to do it by myself and suck it up. But why do that if I could go get more help from capable people and see different ways to handle it If anybody wants to talk about it, I'll talk about it. If you want to do it, you do it. If not, you won't do it. Some people sit there 30 days, walk out the door and start drinking again. It's all about what you really want. Do you want to change I did.

I just leave the ball down the middle for Schneider and he did what he was supposed to do. I'm glad he didn't hit a home run.

I know what the situation is anytime I mess up. Hopefully it will never happen. But if I do something bad they have the option of sending me to the bullpen or releasing me. I know what the situation is. It's not set in stone yet. But they gave me a second chance to work hard and show these guys I'm capable of pitching in the big leagues.

You look at it like you're losing 1-0 or winning 1-0. I've had a tendency in the past when I'm up 8-0 to lose focus on a couple pitches. Before you know it, it's 8-5. If you think about you're winning or losing 1-0, it makes things so much better. You get people out.
Sidney Ponson
I'm happy about the way I threw the ball today. My goal is to get as many ground balls as I can. I don't like to strike people out. I pitch to contact.
