Sportswriters are what make sports great and fun to watch.
Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.
I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.
A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.
I think sometimes people need to get used to an idea.
I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.
It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.
I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.
MVP, you could have picked a name out of a hat... we have a group of MVPs. You don't rely on one guy. You have to get contributions from everyone.
I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult.
You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.
Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
Nine games? It's too long.
