fun good love report scouting
I'd love to play those guys. I was just having some fun with Alex, but, yeah, let's go. If we play these guys, I've got a good scouting report on them.
act fans game hopefully last reminds treat
This reminds me of '98, ... Hopefully (today) will not be my last game here. I don't take any day I come here for granted, and I never have. But I don't want to treat this game like it's my last, and I don't want the fans to act any differently.
good pitcher reaction
You have to have speed, but you also have to have good reaction to what the pitcher is doing,'' Raines said.
experience might team year
This year might be more of a challenge, every day, with different roles. I think I have enough experience with this team that I can help.
business trying
We went out there trying hard. Unfortunately, we're not in the business of trying. We're in the business of doing.

I didn't want to retire until I had no doubt in my mind it was what I wanted to do. I feel good enough to still play.

My future is going to be determined in a great way on how we finish this year. So I've got to take care of the present now, and hopefully the future will take care of itself.
baseball happy jazz people player playing
One thing I've got going for me is I'm a baseball player playing a guitar. I'm not a renowned jazz guitarist. There should be people who are just happy to see me up there playing.

I was feeling loose and relaxed, took some good jumps on balls. I was able to make a catch and throw somebody out, which I was very pumped about.

I would get a late jump on a ball and be able to overcome that by running, ... Now I can't get to it.

My fault. Obviously a brain cramp. I had nowhere to go. It was just a mental mistake.
guys key success time
When the time comes to perform, I want to be there and be one of the key guys contributing to the success of the team.
ball beat bit body frustrated ground hitting longer maybe might notice period presented react takes third time
There are some things that you notice, and some things that you really need to be presented with to really notice them. Like maybe hitting a ground ball to third base, a chopper or something like that, something that you might beat out when you were younger. Maybe it takes you a little bit longer to get to first base. That half-step might not be there. I think there is a period of time when you get frustrated because your body doesn't react the way you want it to for a while.
hoping redeem
I was hoping that I could do something to redeem myself.
