I knew our starting pitchers and bullpen had the capability to go out there and shut teams down. I knew with our offense we were good. From the start of spring training everyone was hungry, everybody's pulling on the same rope.
And from the start of spring training everybody was hungry. Everybody wanted to go out there and win together. Everybody was pulling on the same rope.
I'm not really doing anything different. I'm usually a slow starter. We're playing well right now, and I just want to contribute.
I'm not going to tell him I fouled it off. Just go to first and, hopefully, we get a big hit and we did.
I hadn't thought of it that way. Our paths have just gone two different directions.
I had my chance and didn't do it,
It's a new year and he caught me when I was swinging good.

Being a rookie, you don't know what to expect out of a World Series. You're just happy to be there. It's basically a lot of rah-rah, ... Now, I've had a lot of playoff experience with Oakland. This is my fifth time in the postseason. I'm just happy to get back and I hope to get a ring this time.
