I was just figuring it would be a double. It was one of those things, a break for us.
It should be exciting. It's tough to lose teammates each year, but it's always exciting when you have new guys who come in here and you see how much they're going to enjoy this place.
It's been a tough year for me. Basically, I was just trying to put the ball in play.
It's nice. We're trying to really be careful and not get it out of control. We're working toward the goal of winning the World Series. This is a good step.
It kind of bounced off pretty hard, so I didn't really know. I didn't want to get thrown out.
It's difficult for anybody to deal with all that stuff, all that negativity. There's no telling how different guys are gonna react.
I'm going to be stubborn and stay on the ball. I was more of a pull hitter (last year). It's not the way I had approached things in the first 10 years, so I don't know why in my 11th and 12th years I started changing. ... Not this spring.
It's nice to be home. It's been a long six weeks in spring training and then start off on the road. It's a beautiful place and I'm glad we could pull out a win for everybody.
It's something we see all the time, ... but it's fun to see somebody like Larry seeing it up close.
I honestly think people are tired of reading about me.
When I retire and I'm back at home with me kids, they're not going to care that I smiled too much on the field. They're not going to care what kind of team player I was.
Having the attitude of just playing the game isn't my strength. I have to be productive. That's my responsibility.
God, it's nice to be treated like a man.
