Wow, two wins in a row at home? That's big isn't it?
guy haul knew knowing oblivious sort step trying
I was just sort of oblivious to what was going on. When Thome had surgery, I knew I'm the guy for the long haul and am trying to step it up. Knowing you're going to be in there every day is a big thing.
entire hitting home jim name runs trying
Jim Thome has been hitting home runs long before I got here. He's over there doing what he's done his entire career. I'm still just trying to make a name for myself.

Just keeping it real. I was at home. I think they were taking it out and were just getting ready to dry it.

I'm still kind of searching right now. Whatever feels good. It's really all about seeing the ball. When you're confident, it really doesn't matter who you're facing.

That's the official question of 2006. If I go out and prepare and play, I'll do fine.

That's a tough question. Those guys are pitching pretty well against us.

It was hectic and crazy going all over.

Not really. You're trying to do the same thing (Pat Burrell) did. You're just trying to go up there and have a good (at-bat) and get your pitch.

I'm going to try to uphold Jackie's legacy and play in a manner that would make him proud.

I hope to represent this award in a way that would make your father proud.

It's very important. One swing of the bat can change the whole flow of the game and it can change the outcome of the game.

That's big, isn't it? We're just kind of rolling on into it and we want to finish this series strong.
