We could win three World Series, with me it's never going to be over. My benchmark is so high, whatever I do it's never going to be enough and I understand that. Maybe when I retire is when all the critics and all that stuff is going to end.
Best thing I've ever been a part of,
Familiarity has a lot to do with it. We haven't seen a lot of the Korean and Japanese pitchers. But when we face Mexico, it's more like a major league game to us.
Every family has issues. When you think about what happens in other clubhouses this is quite trivial. I love Gary and in the course of eight months if family are not going to say things that they regret or think from the hip it's not real.

As the night got later, it got a little worse and stiffened up. I think I should be all right.
At the end of the day, I realized how important it was for me to play because of the position I have in the game. ... I'm the best guy available to help the team.
We're taking every game like it's October, because it is for us.
Tonight we posted another win. Now they know where we're at.
We've been swinging the bats progressively better the last three days. We have to work on being more consistent.
We were like desperate animals trying to survive, and animals are most dangerous when they are in a snare.
We really came into this game with a lot of confidence. It felt like we could play well and dominate this game.
We would love be 9-5 or something like that. But we've been on the road for basically 14 days. We're very excited to get home.
We would have liked to have stayed three or four more days, but now we go back to work. And now people feel like the vacation is over and now is the time for the real work.
