behind blessed good
I was blessed to have a good start. I want to put it behind me and have another good week.
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.
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.
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.
good job
You can't get a good job and be in a band.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bit face guys high school trying
I was working out with those guys and trying to face a little live pitching. They're high school guys, but, hey, a little bit (of work) is a little bit (of work).
ball contact nice trying
I was just trying to make contact and put that ball in play. When you do that, nice things can happen.
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.
ended hitting nice
He was nasty. He had some real nice stuff. He was hitting his spots, and he ended up getting a W.
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.
