asking brand change coming couple last league months people won
Coming over my first couple of months people were asking me about the change in leagues. I didn't see a significant difference. ... I don't think it's a necessarily a different brand of baseball. The DH may have a little to do with that but it's probably just coincidental that the American League has won these last few.
base drive effort game great kept nice runners team
The big thing was to get runners on base and drive them in. We got a whole team effort and Jose Contreras pitched a great game and kept down their hitters. It's a nice way to start, so now we have to keep this up.
felt further hoping treadmill work
That is what we are hoping for. I did some work on the treadmill (Wednesday) and it felt pretty good. We are a little further than we anticipated.
asked crazy guy
I kind of asked the guy a crazy question,
using
I'm pretty crazy, so to speak, a little superstitious. I'm using something different up there just about every week.
plate trying walked
I walked to the plate trying to get on base,
drive good pitch
It was a good pitch to hit, ... and I was able to drive it out.
given hit home less run timing tough
It will be a tough home run to top, given the timing and when and where it happened. I don't hit too many home runs, no less a walk-off home run in the World Series.
opening
Every opening day is special, but this one is really special.
came hands saw soon thinking third throw tim
As soon as it came off my bat, I was thinking at the very least to get to third base. Then, I saw (first-base coach) Tim Raines throw his hands up.
base chances fun guys paul series watch
To watch what Paul has done in this series ... wow. It's been fun to watch. We like our chances with guys on base and him at the plate.
describe words
I dont have words to describe whats going on here,
I don't know what to tell you. I feel fortunate.
controlled environment hit rather somewhat staying test
I can get more accomplished staying back here, being able to hit every inning. Just get some more game-time at-bats rather than going to Atlanta. It's a more controlled environment where I don't really have to go all out, somewhat test and see where we stand.
