attempt base bunt five guys hits might pick second six third time year
I used to get 10, 20 bunt hits a year a long time ago. Now I get five or six a year. I kind of pick my spots. I'll probably attempt a lot more than that. Guys still play me in at third base and in a little at second base. I always look. If the opportunity's there, I might as well take it.
crowd hear love noise rush second whenever
I love it whenever I'm rounding second base. It's a rush when I know I'm going for it and you hear the crowd noise rise.
appreciate bit giving glad pay results starting sticking time translate
I've been comfortable in the box, but it doesn't always translate into results. This time of year, results count. I appreciate him sticking with me as much as he has and keep giving me opportunities. I'm glad it's starting to pay off a little bit more.
talk
There's nothing to really talk about. It's the same old (stuff). I just (stink).
amount close eight guys hours morning six sleep slept until
We're close to getting the amount of sleep we need, but they're just different hours than we're used to getting. Most guys slept from six in the morning until two in the afternoon, so we're getting our eight hours just not the eight hours we're used to.
ball baseball bat care cover good july looking losing played putting three time turns
We were more looking to July when Mo turns 40 for the all-40 outfield. The three of us played for a long time and take good care of ourselves. It's not like we're putting three slouches out there. We can all cover the ground, we can put the bat on the ball and we know where to play. We all have good baseball instincts. You're not losing anything with us out there.

call guys happened percent
Those guys make the right call 99 percent of the time. It's just unfortunate it's happened the way it has.
following
We are following the regulations, that's all I can say.
book came hear until
I don't think it's right -- you didn't hear anything about this until the book came out.
gotten great loss wish won
I wish we could have won the game. That's a great milestone, but I wish he could have gotten it in a loss to us.
age bonds consistent fine good health
I don't know about the health of Bonds and I don't know about the health of Alou. I know they have had problems. My health and age is not an issue. We're all going to get a lot of at-bats. That's fine with me. As long as I get my good consistent at-bats, I'll be a good player.
contribute favor god hopefully knows odds plenty time year
This time of the year, you want to contribute when you get your opportunities. God knows I've had plenty of opportunities this year when I haven't come through, so hopefully the odds are in my favor now.
bunt nobody
It's not easy, but it's fun. It's a game. Before we did it, I said nobody should even bunt because I was going to win.
