Even with the last pitch of the game, we were surprised the game was over. We feel we will win every game.
It was a miracle we won the division. By the time we got to Boston last year, we were so deliriously tired because we dug too big a hole. We don't want to get ourselves in that situation again.
It was nice the way we responded today.
I've got to take a long look in the mirror because I didn't do my part. I mean, you win and lose as a team, but I didn't show up.
I've just found that when I swing the bat really well, the boys roll. It's contagious.
I've had so much success there, it's the place I feel like I've done the most damage. You can't let a game or two over the course of 75 or 100 games determine how you feel.
It was a great performance by Shawn. He needed it. We all needed it.
It was a great event. I give the event an A-plus. The only adjustment I'd make is to bring Team USA together on Feb. 1. I think everyone would do it.
It was pretty cool, ... When they called my name, I wasn't expecting it. I was excited.
It was one of the saddest days in baseball for me because what better example for anybody who strives to be a great player and a great person.
It was pretty tough, but I'm glad I made the decision and I'm proud of it. I'm very proud to play for the USA team. I plan to enjoy it.
It's what I expect to do. I'm capable of doing that every day.
That loss might be the best thing that's ever happened to us going down the stretch. We realize we put control of this thing in other people's hand. We don't want to let that happen again.
It's nice to get your hits, but at the same time, it's more important to get good at-bats. Get good tracking and really get yourself prepared for opening day.
