That's the big question every year -- can I drive in 100 RBIs every year? ... That's what I'm supposed to do. I want to do it every year.
It's very important because it's a great award, ... It's awesome.
It's a strange situation, but we need to be ready and just play.
They had 22 in one game. They can hit, you know?
You're going to remember all your life this time.
It happens sometimes, ... I feel bad. It's not going to happen again. When you're late, you see what happens.
He hit a ground ball, I jumped. I said, 'Throw it to home plate, make one out.' I think I had a chance, but it was a bad throw.
I have to do it year after year, ... Not just one or two years.
I'm happy. You have to put up your numbers every year and see what happens. My time is coming, you know?
He almost got it, but I got it over him,
He threw a fastball down the middle, and I think I can hit that. I hit it pretty good.
I don't want to put so much pressure on myself. I want to do like I did last year, play my game. I'm going to play hard. I'm not going to put pressure on myself. We're all going to have to play hard.
I have a glove. I'll play anywhere.
Forget the veterans. They havent told me anything, and they better not come tell me anything, either.
