family learn spot time
Any time you put yourself in an unnecessary spot off the field, you learn a lesson. This is my livelihood, not only for me, but for my family and kids. I have more things to think about than myself.
fans nice spend thank time
It will be nice to thank the fans for the time I was able to spend there.
difficult gold time
It's much more difficult getting a Gold Glove the first time than it is getting more than one.
leg lifted plate time using
(Cook) was using that (slide step) to the plate before that, so this time he lifted his leg and I thought that he was going to the plate.
exciting good guys last time
It's even more exciting now than it would be if I was still on the team. It's going to be the last time I get to see the guys for a while. This will be a good reunion.

There were a lot of questions about him. We played against him all the time when he was with Minnesota. Playing against him, you don't like him too much. Nobody on this team liked him too much when he was on Minnesota.
good guys hard laugh reminisce season time
That's what makes it hard to come here and do this and see all these guys and reminisce and laugh and have a good time the way that we did all season long. Because I know I'm not going to be able to see these guys for a while.
builds came confidence definitely group guys next ourselves situations time
I think it builds confidence to know you can came back in situations like this. Next time we find ourselves in that situation, we know we can do it. We definitely have a group of guys who like being around each other. And I think something like this makes us even closer.

Watch Jason Johnson . That's the guy who really impressed us last season. He's going to be a real good one, real good.
base causes gets huge problems steals
When he gets on, he causes problems for the defense, steals a base here and there. It's huge for us.
attention chips choke everybody knew nobody paid playing stuck talk team together
Through all of the choke talk and everything else that was said, this team really stuck together when the chips were down and we weren't playing as well together as we knew we could. Everybody stuck together and nobody paid attention to that and we were all a unit, and it paid off in the end.
along brings face frank good guys job
Right now, with Frank being out, he's probably the face of this organization. He does a good job with it and brings guys along for the ride.
attention ball came flew great pay trying
I was just trying to pay attention to the way the ball flew and the way it came off the bat. It's a great ballpark. Beautiful.
ability chemistry everybody pull rope team worry
I think there's not enough made about the chemistry of a team and the ability of everybody to pull on the same end of the rope and worry about what matters, and that's wins.
