division few hard last league point rebuilding tough
We were in a really tough division and it got to a point the last few years where we were always kind of like in a rebuilding process. And when you're like that in the American League East, it's too hard to win.

We've been very cautious, and we're going to continue to be.
bit continues discipline great healthy impressed last opportunity patience player spend stays talked time
We talked a little bit last year, but not a whole lot. I was pretty impressed with his discipline and patience at the plate. I think he has a lot of tools. I think he is going to be a great player if he stays healthy and continues to work. I didn't have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with him. From what I saw, he was pretty talented.
bread finger hurt panicked pumped
We get pumped up, but we also get a little panicked because we don't want him to hurt a finger or a shoulder. He's our bread and butter.
hit played
We were a hit away. They played a little better than us.
athlete bat days five fun good opposition shut
We want that run, too, but we want him to shut down the opposition today, and in five days and in 10 days. That's the way I look at it. He's fun to watch. He can put the bat on the ball. He's got energy. He's a good asset. He's an athlete out there.
answer sold tickets
There are no tickets left; they sold out. There is no other way to answer that.
mom home names
You probably don't call home and say, 'Hi, mom. I am facing Pete Schourek tonight.' Names and stats don't do it. You have to do it out on the field.
baseball player political
I'm a baseball player, I'm not a political activist.
baseball children blessed
I'm blessed with health and energy and passion for the game of baseball, and also to help children.
helping-others people fields
I love what I do on the field and that takes a lot of my time. But I also make time to help other people because a lot are not as fortunate as I am.
sports baseball moving
I'm a fastball hitter. It's no secret I'm looking for a fastball every pitch. I think it's one of the hardest things to do in sports-to hit a moving baseball.
party technology computer
I love what I do, but I've got a life out of here. I like to spend time on the computer. I like technology. I like music. I like movies. I like to go out and party. I like my cigars, but I don't drink, and I do like to keep a low profile.
