I was pretty good at math growing up. I don't think too many guys were aware of it.
I think if he plays (in the WBC), he's healthy, he feels good in terms of condition-wise and physically, I think he'll play.
We need to play well. We have to go out there and continue to play with the intensity we have and hopefully it will be good enough.
From playing with him, if you don't capitalize on him early he gets stronger. You hope it doesn't come back to haunt you, but looking at it now we wished we could have gotten a couple more runs there. But he made good pitches and he got out of the inning and then we had opportunities later in the game and didn't do anything with it.
I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who had the chance to play. It was a good experience besides the results.
Let them keep taking shots. He had a pretty good year last year.
You have to come up with the big hit, and Matsui had a huge hit. That was big for us, because we really didn't have too many good swings.
We've been playing good for a while. Hopefully, we can continue to do it when we get home.
There are probably a lot of owners who aren't thrilled about it. This is something we feel is a good thing. The players association and Major League Baseball are getting together on it so we're excited about it.
There's feelings there, but I think I've just been pretty good at trying to hide my emotions throughout the years. I try to have the same demeanor each and every day.
It's not that hard to figure out. I was always good in math.
It's easy to play when you score 15 runs with Randy Johnson pitching. But it'll take a while to find out how good we really are. But I like what I see so far.
It's a mistake. People are going to make mistakes. He obviously did a good job blocking it out.
Wakefield was probably as good as I've seen him. His ball was moving all over the place. We could have been out there for another three hours and I don't think we'd have gotten any more hits off him.
