I had a chance. Carlos made a great play on Juan. I thought I hit the ball pretty good, but it just didn't go anywhere. I feel bad for Jeff. Jeff pitched a pretty good game, and two big errors, they scored two runs.
It's nice. We're trying to really be careful and not get it out of control. We're working toward the goal of winning the World Series. This is a good step.
I'm going to stay off it the best I can for the next week, I guess. I don't know how many days.
I'm going to be stubborn and stay on the ball. I was more of a pull hitter (last year). It's not the way I had approached things in the first 10 years, so I don't know why in my 11th and 12th years I started changing. ... Not this spring.
In the U.S., port authorities don't have any control over the private side. In Europe they do.
I just saw him kick it one time and I thought, well, they're going to be more concentrating on trying to get the guy at the plate. I just kept running.
I just think that's the way he is. But he got to be such a big phenomenon - for his whole career, basically. I don't think he ever became entirely comfortable with that.
I really wasn't worried about Scotty because he was never really complaining about his shoulder. As long as he's not hurt and not complaining about his shoulder, he's going to be fine.
I'm just going to do what I used to do, whatever was natural. I know what I'm capable of, and that's what I'm looking for.
An out's an out, ... We all make outs. It doesn't make it any more frustrating that anybody's on deck. It's the fact that you make outs with guys on base, knowing that's your only chance right there.
The ball carried good to left field early in the day and I think the wind shifted. It's just going to be one of those things where you have to wait and see. But it was a perfect day, you can't ask for anything more.
It's been tough. All I can do is keep working and try to do what I can to help the team.
A three o'clock start in any ballpark is tough, but it's especially tough here. I'm not looking forward to too many more of those.
Did we lose or did we win? ... It's something that you've got to see to believe it. You really do. People back home ask me about this place and I tell them, 'You've got to come see it to believe it.' I don't think you can describe the power of these people that come to the game day in and day out, and the support they give you. It really makes you go out there and play harder, play better and basically be a better person just because you know they're watching.
