In the New York Post, Steve Serby’s Sunday’s Q&A was with Johan Santana, who talks confidence, his hobbies, ‘three dinner guests,’ pitching under pressure and in the post season, Jose Reyes and his admiration of Rickey Henderson, among other things.

…this is a great interview, as are all of serby’s Q&As, which is a feature i have come to look forward to every weekend

Santana, on confidence and winning a World Series, as quoted by Serby…

“You gotta be confident about the things that you want and the things you are capable to do.  If everything goes right, we’re gonna have a pretty good chance to go into a World Series.”

…i have had the chance to talk with lots of people over the last week who know santana, or played with or coached him, and i keep hearing words like, “bulldog,” “focused,” and, “great teammate,” which is always nice to heartalent aside, having his attitude and pedro’s attitude on the pitcher’s mound every few days all season long will help with this team’s confidence, all season long, no doubt
