I can't help that guys, that'll never change.
Friday was a demoralizing loss. To get two wins going into the off-day and a tough Tampa series, it's good for our psyche.
I don't think we're seeing colors in the other team's uniforms, ... We know each game is important whether it's Boston or Tampa. We need each game desperately, and we're playing that way.
I expect a lot out of myself. When I swing the bat really well, the boys roll. It's important for me to go out and take responsibility for what I have to do each and every day.
I expressed to him that, as important as winning this thing is, my preparation for the season is the most important thing. Any time you're on the field, representing the U.S., it's an enormous responsibility; but for me, my whole goal in life is to win a world championship, and nothing goes in front of that.
I don't know what happened. You'd have to ask Joe West.
I don't know what happened, ... I think it was very costly, but at the same time we had our chances offensively.
I don't know why he got ejected. We had 14 people in the dugout yelling at the umpire and I guess he just picked out the manager. There was no warning or anything. I think it helped us.
I don't know what it was. I couldn't see the damn thing. He had us all talking to ourselves, and nothing that was said was helpful.
I don't care if we have to fly 6 hours or 10 hours. We have a chance to extend the postseason and get to where we want to be.
I don't care if we have to fly 6 hours or 10 hours, ... We have a chance to extend the postseason and get to where we want to be.
But there were a lot of misplaced priorities. I didn't hear any new ideas about the economy beyond tax cuts.
I would enjoy that. I think it would be great for both of us.
I would certainly trade his World Series championship for this MVP trophy, ... That's the only reason I play baseball. It's what I'm consumed to do right now.
