danger hit key point pull since wall
I think there's a danger if you try to hit it off the wall every time. But, ever since I was 6 years old I was a pull hitter, and my key is to look middle, and I'm going to pull because that's my point of contact.
change crying figured five good josh number starting willing
Josh was crying to me for five years with the Marlins that he always wanted No. 19 so I told him I'd be willing to give it up. I think change is good sometimes. So I figured why not? I'm on a new team, new number and everything is new. I'm kind of starting from scratch. I feel good about that.

I think they just didn't want anything to get out of hand. I don't make anything of it. He was protecting Jeter; they thought we hit him. It was no big deal.

Sure, there's been a little bandwagon jumping. But I think that's only normal, ... It's tough to identify with guys who haven't been with the organization for a while. I still believe you have to win back the fans, and I still think, after '97, I guess the fans had an attitude of 'You got to prove us wrong before we start giving you our money to watch you play.'
against becomes braves card coming front leading left playing september teams three weeks wild
These teams are out of it in May and they're way outdrawing us. And even in September we're coming down to the wire, leading the wild card with about three weeks left and we're playing in front of 17,000 against the Braves on a weekend. That's where it becomes very frustrating.
