everybody hopefully man opportunity relish wants
That's what I'm here for, to hopefully do something special, something that hasn't been done in a long time. If that happens, that's fine. Everybody wants to be that man at least once in their career. If I have an opportunity to do that, I'm going to relish it.
happiness happy satisfied triple
I was happy I got a triple -- not that I wouldn't have been satisfied with anything,
feels good win
It feels good to win two in a row. That's something new around here. That's just the beginning.
best catcher
(Utley) still had enough to take the catcher out. That was the best part of it. He'll get down and dirty.
definitely forward fun looking loose ourselves playing
We're really loose now. We're definitely much more relaxed. We're having fun and looking forward to playing ball. We've got expectations for ourselves just like everyone else does. We'll see what happens, but we're confident.
caught couple helps hotel maybe streak
I don't think about the streak too much, maybe a couple of times in the hotel room. I told myself to not get caught up in it. I have to go out and do it. It helps me not think about it.
watch
I got things to do. I'm not going to watch baseball, I play it.
again came found good spot
I got it on the right spot (of the bat), but it just came off soft. Marquis is a good athlete, period. We found that out again with what he did at the plate.
start streak winning
I?d like to start another streak. But we need to start a winning streak first. That is most important.
catch definitely fire
We're not devastated. It's definitely at lot tougher, but as long as you have a mathematical chance, anything can happen. We can catch fire and that's what we need to do.
gloves good guys paid rewarded swings
I had two good swings there. That's part of baseball. You don't get rewarded for good swings all the time. You have guys there with gloves and that's what they're paid to do is get you out.
cage coach four good hits hitting personal plate runs swings worked
I had two good swings (in the first four plate appearances), so I went back to the cage and worked with my personal hitting coach Shane Victorino on my swing some more. We put up just enough hits and runs for me to get another at-bat.
believe change people solid
Expectations change every year. People are going to believe what they want to believe. Personally, I believe we have a solid club.
block hear negative stuff whether
But the more negative stuff there is, you try to block it out, but you still feel it. Whether you hear it or not, you still feel the negativity.
