This is kind of what I would say is an amazing streak, but the club doesn't amaze me because they showed early on that they have the desire, the heart and we hung in there in close ball games, but this has been kind of an unbelievable roll that we're on right now and who knows when it's going to end.
This is kind of strange -- an individual who's been as successful as he has and as consistent as he has in the American League has struggled this much and this long over the course of this season. I've never seen anything like it before in my days.
Not really. It wasn't that easy. I went about 0-for-23 sometime after that.
Absolutely, I knew it was a good move. If we needed to make a move at shortstop, it wouldn't be a drop-off defensively. ... We didn't have that last year.
About this ballpark? The dimensions? The answer is no.
It seems like every team has a guy that is fortunate that the team scores for (him), and there's that hard-luck guy they don't score for.
It seems like every staff has a guy that a team scores runs for, and then there's this hard-luck guy that they don't score runs for. This may be his year to get the run support.
It seems like when we get a decent pitched game we do nothing offensively.
It's a relief for everybody, it really is. We get the distractions away from here and we can focus on baseball now.

It's a big adjustment for him. You can have the talent, but if you don't want to work at it, you won't get any better. I have patience in him. I hope he has patience in himself.
It wasn't even close. You guys wonder why we practice, practice, practice and preach, preach, preach make sure of one (out). Take your time and make sure of one. They don't have a chance if you don't make a good throw.
It was probably the best game he's pitched in the last five or six ball games. His knee is getting better each start, and he is getting back to where he normally would be: that is hitting the corners with his pitches and changing speeds.
It's not tough to do. The better players are moving around, and it's mind-boggling that some players haven't done it.
