You have to be excited because that run gave us the win. One game for us is everything. We've got to play every inning.
I'm happy. You have to put up your numbers every year and see what happens. My time is coming, you know?
It's very important because it's a great award, ... It's awesome.
We will play hard every day. No one knows what's really going to happen this season. These guys we've got here, they can hit. Believe me. They can swing. People don't know what those guys are going to do, what they're capable of. They want to show they can play.
I've played hurt. But this is the knee. I can't (move it around).
You're going to remember all your life this time.
I was going to home plate to make the one out. I thought it was the right choice, but it was a bad throw.
Most people aren't ready to hit at this point. They're throwing 97, 98. The pitchers, they've got the advantage.
I feel good about that. I don't want to leave this team. I want to be on this team for a long time because they gave me my first opportunity in the big leagues. I've never thought that next year I'm going to arbitration and I'm going to make a lot of money. I just have to keep playing baseball the way I have to play.
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?
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.
I have to do it year after year, ... Not just one or two years.
He threw a fastball down the middle, and I think I can hit that. I hit it pretty good.
