I got little bumps and chills when I saw my uniform, the (number) 13 Rodriguez, and I saw red, white and blue. As corny as it sounds, I go back to my brother (Victor) who's fought in war and is a 30-year vet of the U.S. Air Force. It makes me very proud.

I don't know what happened, ... I think it was very costly, but at the same time we had our chances offensively.
I don't know why he got ejected. We had 14 people in the dugout yelling at the umpire and I guess he just picked out the manager. There was no warning or anything. I think it helped us.
I don't know what it was. I couldn't see the damn thing. He had us all talking to ourselves, and nothing that was said was helpful.
I almost pulled a hamstring, ... I was confused. I hit the ball, and then I saw the outfielder kind of stop. I said no way he's going to catch this. When I saw the ball on the field, I thought it was a live ball.
I always enjoy my stay here in Canada. It's one of those places where you just feel comfortable.
He is the one special player right now, like Barry Bonds , who can change the game around simply with his batting.
I feel more accepted in this clubhouse this year. I feel like I'm one of the guys in here now. And last year, it wasn't their fault, it was my fault. I was one person trying to get to know 100 people. You're going to have a better rapport with people in your second year than your first, this is a more comfortable feeling.
I can't help that guys, that'll never change.
Friday was a demoralizing loss. To get two wins going into the off-day and a tough Tampa series, it's good for our psyche.
We win and lose as a team ... I'm as proud of these guys ... We left our guts on the field.
You figured it out, didn't you? Pretty good for a writer.
Well, if it was in November, they'd be talking about why wasn't it in March? And if it was in July, they would say why isn't it in November? So I don't think any timing is perfect.
