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've been challenged many times this season, so for us to get those runs early and Paul having an unbelievable start was big for us, ... It was a bleeder and a blast followed by some great pitching.

We had pitching, hitting and defense. It was nice to get all three working together. The biggest key was getting the three runs early. That let us kinda relax a little bit, instead of playing from behind.

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.

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.
