Everything has gone beyond my expectations. I've had a great summer, and the fans have been tremendous. Chicago has taken us in and has been great.
Running a marathon is something I've always wanted to do.
Growing up, I watched softball and U.S.A .softball, and that was my goal of being able to represent my country and wear the red, white, and blue out there, and I think it is one of the highest honors to be able to go out there and compete for your country, and it was something so very special, and it was everything I dreamt of and more.
If I'm with my sons, I want to give them 100 percent. Whatever I am doing at that moment, I want to make the most of it.
I've faced more than 35 major leaguers, and only two have ever made contact against me.
I love being outside with my boys, playing tag or trying to keep up with them.
I'd love to have four or five kids.
I try to stay as low-key as possible, watch him pitch and eat some peanuts. If one person figures it out, they all do.
I try to not be too hard on myself regarding my diet. I've always been a workout-to-eat kind of a girl. I like to eat, to say the least.
It's all about balance and, I think, being in the moment.
I threw her a changeup low and she got to it. I probably shouldn't have followed a curve with a changeup.
I saw the ball and only the black sky. I didn't watch after that.
I was just battling the at-bat before. I wasn't being patient or selective. I was a little too aggressive.
Playing in such a great sports town and seeing the fan support was outstanding. But I wish we would have won that last game.
