Curt Schilling was once talking about a game he pitched (I think on his blog) and he defined it similarly to what Ace and BT said: control is throwing strikes (throwing the ball over the plate), command is a bit more about pitching to <i>specific parts of the plate</i>.
In fact, he talked about being wanting to pitch to, say, the upper right quadrant of the plate when A-Rod had a 2-1 count on him, and he said that the difference between him pitching well or poorly depended upon whether he could hit those spots.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
