A total professional who everybody respects. No matter what happens, he never complains. He's a competitor. He's the kind of guy you want on your team.
More and more cargo is coming in containers. By the year 2010, a total of 90 percent of the world's cargo will be shipped in containers.
There are a few things that are like that. I'm happy and lucky to have been a part of it. I thought it was pretty special.
Tony did a great job of putting the pieces together all year. To play as well as we have with all the injuries, it just makes this a great team victory.
We've got a lot of things working for us right now. We came up short in Chicago, but we played well two of the three games. We could easily be 6-1 and not 4-3. We'll take what we've got and work with it.
If they don't pick (the option) up, I don't know how many opportunities there are going to be for me to play. I'm going to approach it like this season will be one of the last ones I have. Hopefully, they'll allow me to come back. But if they don't, I have to be ready for Plan B.
I don't know what to say. It cost us the game, so I've got to deal with it.
My first question was whether I could know ... just for some peace of mind or to have a game plan how I could live my life the next couple years,
My season is kind of a wash as far as some of the numbers. I'm really just trying to go out there and get prepared for what's to come. That's really it right now.
I was swinging the bat well in Chicago, had some good swings in Philadelphia but just not here. Putting the ball in play would be helpful. I just do something wrong and (the shoulder) gets a little sore. I take a bad swing, it gets a little worse.
I wouldn't want to sit in the training room all day and make those guys work when they've got 50 guys in there. If I can go out there and play with a little bit of pain, I can stay out of the training room.
If we had a full complement and the airport had a full complement, we could do a better job to make sure more containers are inspected.
Show up, get your feet wet, set a good example; there's lots of reasons to.
Mulder struggled his first couple of starts with us. Then he found his groove, and it's impressive how all five of our starters feed off each other. Mark has fit in here real well.
