There's not much we can do about that. As hitters, you just do your jobs and hope we can get all cylinders going at some point.
everybody few fill hope money pocket previous speaks spend spent talent team ways
It speaks volumes, I think, that this team went out and spent the money it did this winter, especially after there wasn't a lot spent the previous few years. I hope everybody realizes now that there are two ways to get better: One is to give up young talent in trades, which you don't want to do. The other is to spend money out of pocket to fill needs. We did it right.

It's not as distracting as I thought it would be, ... It's in the back of your mind. For anyone to totally forget about that is not human. At the same time, I've dealt with a lot of distractions all year with the All-Star game and the 'sophomore slump.'

It's an exciting time, ... You're talking about life-changing money.

It was nice to finally have a game in which we could have some fun and relax. We haven't had a game like this all season.

Anytime you're going up against a guy like that you know you're not going to get much to hit, ... To get that, and to finish strong, means the world to me.

We've been talking about it for a while. Now we're just ready to get out there and get going. You have that anticipation, it finally gets here and you definitely get excited.

We've been challenged many times this season, so for us to get those runs early and Paul having an unbelievable start was big for us, ... It was a bleeder and a blast followed by some great pitching.
