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.
good trying
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.
process trying
For me, it's just a part of the process in trying to get ready. There are still some things out there that I want to try to get better at.
game goes lose losing mess people somebody trying win
People are trying to play, they're not out there trying to mess up. That's just how the game goes sometimes. Somebody has to win and somebody has to lose and unfortunately we were on the losing end today. We know we're better than that.
happens next stuff trying vacation
I'm on vacation right now. I don't know. That stuff is always hard, what happens next year. Right now I'm just trying to relax.
best coming extra pressure trying
I'm just going to go out and play the best I can and not put any extra pressure on myself. My mind-set is the same. I'm just coming in and trying to get ready.
row wins
Wow, two wins in a row at home? That's big isn't it?
dry keeping ready taking
Just keeping it real. I was at home. I think they were taking it out and were just getting ready to dry it.
feels matter searching seeing whatever
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.
official prepare question
That's the official question of 2006. If I go out and prepare and play, I'll do fine.
basically wherever
That's basically what you're going to get out of me -- whatever. Wherever you are is wherever you are.
against guys pitching tough
That's a tough question. Those guys are pitching pretty well against us.
crazy hectic
It was hectic and crazy going all over.
