I'm excited about this year. I'm feeling like I did in 2002, about our offense that year. I was so excited to have that offense and when they left, I was so disappointed. I'm kind of getting that feel back from 2002 when we won the division.
I learned about this game from him. He's a guy I look to like he's an older brother. I've come up in this game just by watching what Kirby Puckett is all about.
The energy is gone. It's kind of drained right now in the clubhouse.
My favorite book in the Bible is always Proverbs because it's where you can find wisdom for no matter what you're going through. It hits me every time I read it. I've always read Proverbs regularly because it helps me deal with what's happening every day in real life.
My mother made sure we stayed involved in the church and the things of God. My relationship with Christ came about through that and the influences of my mother and grandmother helped my faith to grow.
I always think about what would Christ do in any circumstances.
My faith is what makes me strong. Without faith, there are only low times.
With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.
When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.
When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.
It was so much fun working with these young kid actors. We had a great time and those kids are truly amazing.
Kirby played every day. You feed off of that. When you think of Kirby, you think of motivation. Im definitely going to dedicate this year to him.
For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right,
What's the use of saying we're better at baseball than this country? We all play together. I'm playing with Venezuelans and Dominicans right now. We all play together, so what's up with saying our country is better than your country? It's stupid. I don't like it.
