People say this is the greatest offense ever. But let us play awhile. Names don't win games. You have to play the games.
Every year, it?s a new guy. Feel free (to stay over with Damon).
There's no sense of accomplishment. We didn't accomplish anything.
I stay in touch with him, but he hasn't said anything. He really hasn't.
I've never even thought about it. Maybe because I don't have any kids. I know it's a big problem, but I just never thought about it. I've never had any reason to bring awareness (about it) to myself. What Joe is doing is groundbreaking. I think it's a lot harder to be the first person to talk about it. Maybe more people will start because of him.
I've always said the best teams make the playoffs and the hottest teams win, and we haven't been the hottest team.
Santana did a great job. We scored those couple of runs early, but after that we didn't do much damage off of him.
A fan just tossed it back on the field,
Adams runs pretty good. He didn't hit the ball particularly hard, he chopped it up the middle. You basically tag second and try to throw it as quick as you can. Give him credit, he hustled.
No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.
If I had to guess, I would say yes. And that has nothing to do with anything that he's told me. I have not even asked him. I haven't even said, 'Rocket, are you playing? Thinking about playing?' I haven't even brought the question up.
I don't think he's done pitching. That has nothing to do with any conversation I had with him. He loves to compete, and he pitched well.
I don't see why you would shoot for second place. We're still in a race for the A.L. East, so that's what our approach is. We're trying to win the division. You don't ever go into anything saying you want to finish second.
I don't see way you shoot for second place. We're still in a race for the AL East. We're trying to win the division. You never go in thinking you want to finish second.
