You know what? My main thing is going to be trying to be consistent. Those numbers I put up last year and the protection we'll have this year, I think that's going to help me maintain that.
break carries game games help last momentum night rolling spell three whether win
This game is all about momentum, ... I think last night had (it) rolling through tonight. Momentum is what carries you. Whether you're 30 games back to three games back, momentum can break the spell and help win games.
clubhouse couple expecting great guys last people reasonably saying
There are expectations this year. I'm not saying great expectations, but I think people are reasonably expecting us to be a lot more competitive than we've been the last couple of years. I know the guys in the clubhouse have a different feeling.
bit games knowing last losing position press win
Being in all of those games and being in a position to win some of them, it's just frustrating being on the losing end of most of them. It's a little more frustrating knowing that you are probably a little bit better than you were last year. You should be doing better, but you're not. I think it makes everyone kind of press to do a little more than they probably should. I think that's compounding the problem.
bar high improving last obviously offensive realize season stand
You want to keep improving every year, and I've obviously set a very high bar for myself after two years. At some point, though, that's going to stop. You're not just going to keep getting better and better forever. That season I had last year, I look back on it and see the numbers, and I do realize how they stand out in most offensive categories.

If you're 16-1, the last thing you want is a day off. But when you don't start off well, sometimes having a day off relaxes you. Not thinking about baseball for a day helps.
drive few late lucky might reason runs seeing
I think a lot of it might have to do with teams, this late in the season, (that) are out of it, and I'm probably seeing more pitches. It might be a combination of a few things, but I still have to drive those runs in. For one reason or another, I've been getting lucky and getting more opportunities.

We showed a little bit of character coming back. With the way we were going, we could have easily rolled over.
canadians good gratifying love personal recognized seasons series win year
To win this in a year (2005) when so many Canadians had good seasons is amazing. I'd love to win a World Series one day, but, on a personal level, it's very gratifying to recognized by your country.
came everybody far feeling focused
Usually on the first day it's pretty lackadaisical and everybody is feeling their way around a little bit, but I really got the feeling that everybody was over that. Everybody came in a little more ready, a little more focused as far as getting some things done.

We're kind of working toward something here in the next few days so you take your at-bats a little more serious.
certain contract exciting flattering focus level maintain people talking time year
With the year I've had and the way things are going with the contract talks, it's a very exciting time for me. Not too many people get to go through something like this, ... You're talking about life-changing money. At the same time, you've got to maintain a certain level of focus and level-headedness. It's more flattering than anything.
