best couple enjoy felt fun locked stay strike trying
I was just trying to stay in my strike zone. I enjoy (multi-homer) games, it makes it fun. I'm just trying to stay locked in. This is the best I've felt in a couple years.
fun great
It's great to contribute, a whole lot of fun,
enjoy everybody fun great hair johnny sees
Everybody sees Johnny Damon for long hair and the beard, but he's a great, great teammate. He's fun to play with. He'll be fun for this team. I think they'll really enjoy having Johnny around.
fun season time
This is the fun time of the year. This is what you play the whole season for. ... If you don't play (well) in September, there's no October.
fun house exciting
I had fun coming every day and playing in front of a packed house - it was exciting.
fun mean nasty
I'm too busy having fun to be mean and nasty.
fun leave love playing season time
I love playing in September. This is the fun time of the year, what you play the whole season for. You leave it all on the field, because if you don't play in September, there is no October.
champions given good seems team win
We have to go play what seems like the World Champions in Tampa. We have to win every day, and we're going to play the team that's actually given us the most problems. We have to play good baseball.
comeback
We always believed. We always thought we'd be here in the end and now we're not going to let our comeback be wasted.
breaking good roll trying
I was trying to get him to roll over, ... I got a lot of outs on my breaking ball. It was a good pitch.
andy good gotten great
I still get bored, but I don't mind. I've never been very good at it. It's good for me to sometimes get some rest, though. It's gotten Andy some at-bats, which is good, because he's a great player.
head hit knew last since spring strung training work year
I was all over the place then. I had been hit (by a pitch) in the head and had been doing so much work since spring training to try and make up for last year that I was just strung out. But I knew it would change.
bad break drive fell hard hitter injury kept knee last paid playing reason runs worked
I think I can be a .300 hitter and drive in 100 runs again, definitely. When I had a knee injury (in 2003) I kept playing but I fell into a lot of bad habits. I've worked with Donnie to break those, and I think that hard work paid off last summer. I see no reason why I can't do the things I did before.
bad best career great harder helped win wins
I think he was harder on himself. He wanted to come in here and win 25 games. He battled for us, and even when he didn't have his best stuff, he helped us win. You know you've had a great career when 17 wins is a bad year.
