We don't get worried when we're behind. We know we're only a few walks and a few swings from being back in the ballgame.

We just wanted to get in. It's been such a long, tough year. I know everyone in here is enjoying every single minute of this. Especially for a guy like me, and where I started. It's unbelievable.
doubt games good offense win
We're going to win some games with our offense, no doubt about it. Our offense is too good not to win.
battle behind coming fall far giving next rut turns win
We know it's still early, but you don't want to fall as far behind and get in that rut where you have to battle back. You don't want to find yourself coming to the ballpark, giving away a win and then the next day, you get beat. Before you know it, it turns into something bad.
against ball beat club easily gotten last pitcher taste turned turns veteran
Without the veteran ball club we have, we could have very easily gotten swept, especially against a pitcher like Brad. They beat Mo last night, and this could have turned into a disaster. You give away a game, then get beat, and it turns into something bad. We got the taste out of our mouths.
comeback
We always believed. We always thought we'd be here in the end and now we're not going to let our comeback be wasted.

People ask me, What would you be doing without baseball? I don't know...super-sizing fries?

I'm too busy having fun to be mean and nasty.

The biggest thing as I have gotten older is the calmness that's come over me.

No matter what players say or people say, you want to be liked and appreciated, even if you've had a downfall.

Winning depends on where you put your priorities. It's usually best to put them over the fence.
fun house exciting
I had fun coming every day and playing in front of a packed house - it was exciting.
player play kind
As a younger player, you always kind of play with that fear of failure.
should-have topics gone
We should have apologized back then and made sure we had a rule in place and gone forward. ... Steroids and all of that was a part of history. But it was a topic that everybody wanted to avoid. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
