Anyone who lives in the city has some kind of experience with that.
case days gets somebody three
They won't do anything for three days in case somebody gets hurt.
grief heard people positive problem
There's the people and friends who want to give you grief about it, but I've heard all positive things, so I have no problem with it.
best rock roll songs strictly
I just want to be able to write the best songs that we can write. It's strictly about rock and roll for us.
ball course good hits might rather trying walk
I'm just going up there trying to have good ABs. If I get a ball that I can hit, I'm going to swing. If not, I'll walk. Of course I'd rather get hits than walks, that's just anybody. But if the walk is there, you might as well be able to take it.
bat fastball good head threw tried
That's a real good start. He threw me the fastball and I just tried to get the head of the bat out and get a hit. So that was cool.

There's nothing better than going on the road after winning like this on the last day.

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.

It was trading at $13, they're paying $18. That's not bad.

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.
homer
I'll take a three-run homer over a walk.
