blaming facing fact game good saw struggling stuck sure
We've been struggling with our at-bats. But we've stuck with our game plan. We've been blaming (the slump) on the fact that we've been facing good pitchers. And we have. We saw another one tonight. And it sure is good to see Ichiro going again.
fact game good putting run stick struggle struggling tried
We've been struggling to get hits. But we've tried to stick with our game plan. We've been putting our struggle down to the fact we've run into good pitching.
believe good half hope
You try not to hope. Hope is not a good word. That's half the battle. You've got to believe you can win.
catch good six teams time tough
It's going to be a tough month, a tough first six weeks. But you've got to play these teams sometimes, and now is a good time to see where we're at. You can always catch fire.
drive enjoy good guys hired job
That's my job. That's why I was hired to come here, to drive in runs. I enjoy those situations. The guys did a good job to get on.
base chance drive good open rather seem situation theory understand walk
If it does work, then there's a base open and they're going to walk me anyway. I don't understand the theory why he stole there. It doesn't seem to be a good green-light situation with two outs. I'd rather there not be a base open and give me a chance to drive in the run.

balls believe brought good hitting missing remember
I remember missing balls and hitting them out that way. I can't believe they brought it in. That will be good for Jenks (Geoff Jenkins).
fast good hit side sign split start stayed threw
I hit that one good. He threw me a good split to start me off with. The encouraging side is I stayed back and went more off-speed conscious, and just kind of reacted to the fast ball. It's a good sign for me.
expected ran serious
We expected to be a little better. We just ran into some serious pitching.
award nice stay win
It would be nice to win it; it would say I was able to stay on the field, ... But it's not an award you want to win more than once.
eventually royals team
The thing about a team like the Royals is that eventually they have to win,
again blessed healthy productive
You always think you're never going to get hurt. When you do it's a shock. It's something you don't want to go through. So I feel blessed to be healthy again and even more so to be productive again.
aaron baseman bob brother catcher dad heart hours last league manager phone sort talk third three tried
I was on the phone with him for three hours last night. I tried to talk him out of it. We all did -- his dad (former big league catcher and manager Bob Boone) and his brother Aaron (the third baseman in Cleveland). We sort of ganged up on him, but he said his heart wasn't in it.
