paying trading
It was trading at $13, they're paying $18. That's not bad.
advantage best blessing few guys last playing stay support time trying
I've been playing the last few days, that's a blessing also. I'm just trying my best to take advantage of it. When it's time for me to take a break, I'll support the other guys to try and win. I'll stay ready.
last road winning
There's nothing better than going on the road after winning like this on the last day.
bad basically paid swing tried yesterday
Yesterday was a bad day for us. We had to make up for that day and basically went out there and tried to swing the bats. Obviously, it really paid off.
guys tough
We've got power, guys who can run. It's a tough lineup.
ball felt grand hit
That was my first ever grand slam. I never even hit one in little league. It really felt good. I just have to find someone to give the ball to other than myself.
behind blessed good
I was blessed to have a good start. I want to put it behind me and have another good week.
bands birthday outdoors party played porch six throwing
We played at a birthday party that one of our friends was throwing for his wife. It was two bands and six strippers. And I didn't know it beforehand, but the show was outdoors on the porch of the bar.
marketing needs polo public reason trying watch
I thought it was great. International Polo is trying a lot of different marketing techniques. And that's what polo needs. It needs to be more of a public sport. There's no reason in the world why everyone in the world shouldn't come watch it.
baseman both natural playing second
I'm so used to playing both right now. I think I can be a natural second baseman and I feel like I could be a natural shortstop. But right now I see myself more as second baseman.
came love maybe truth
I'd love to play it, to tell you the truth. I came over here, and it's different over here, a new beginning, so why not try it? I love shagging in the outfield, so maybe I can shag in the game.
bad leagues understand year
I had one bad year in 2003 and, in my eyes, I've been penalized for that one year. I understand I'm going to be in the big leagues somewhere, but it still hurts. I wanted to be an Indian.
home wrong
We want to keep on playing. We don't want to go home (for the winter). We want to try to make it back to back (championships) and get another ring. Nothing wrong with that.
attempting definitely disturbing good odds surgeon
There was pretty good odds that we were definitely disturbing someone that was attempting to convalesce, or a surgeon who is attempting to do some complicated microscopic vascular procedure.
