Today he came out and pitched like the John Thomson we knew last year.
fame goal good hall hank hit home improve worry year
Hank Aaron's in the Hall of Fame; it's a good record. But I don't worry about it. My goal this year was not to hit 40 home runs, but just to improve my consistency. When the season's over, that's when I'll look at that stuff.

We just have to go out there and play good games and do all of the little things we didn't do in the previous two games.

My last three at-bats, I didn't really feel good. I started getting some back spasms and it kind of affected my swing a little bit. It's no excuse. We had opportunities to take the lead. We didn't take advantage of it, and that's what happens.
anywhere bobby camp knows military ready
I wouldn't know what to do anywhere else. Bobby doesn't put us through military camp out of the gate. He knows what we need to be ready for the season.
