I want to do theater and I am looking forward to doing more Television and Movies. I also want to direct some plays in theater workshops for people with disabilities.

Whatever happened last year to propel us to the run that we made, it's really carried over to this year. Guys expect to win ball games and that's showing up in the plays we're making.
adam help hopefully plays supposed team until
I'm just going to out there, relax, make the plays that I'm supposed to make and hopefully help the team out until Adam can get back out on the field.
amount ball begin decent field ground plays run rush sure time tougher
Any time you have to run a decent amount away (to field a ground ball), those plays get a lot tougher, just because it's a tougher ground ball to begin with. And then you have to make sure to try not to rush (the throw), because you want to make sure you get the first out, always.
comfort continued exhibition far games guess maid minute nice played season
The two exhibition games we played here (at Minute Maid Park) right before the season started, I kind of got into a nice little place as far as comfort level. I guess that's continued through the season.

Well, I was hardly the hero tonight. Roy was great - seven innings pitched and one run. He bailed us out quite a few times. Luckily, I was able to get a couple knocks.

ahead ball base bunt changed decided extra few figured goes good hit honest innings laying maybe mind normally obviously pitch swing thinking threw worked
We had obviously not done anything for a few innings and I was actually going up there and thinking about laying down a bunt on the first pitch. Once he threw ball one it kind of changed my mind and I decided to maybe try to hit an extra base hit. I figured being ahead in the count, maybe I was going to get a fastball. Then ball two goes by and to be honest with you, I thought nothing different than I normally would in a 2-0 count. (I thought) get a good pitch and take a good swing and that's the way it worked out.
