I had two good swings there. That's part of baseball. You don't get rewarded for good swings all the time. You have guys there with gloves and that's what they're paid to do is get you out.

Records are meant to be broken and it's good to have an opportunity to chase them. But I'm more focused on how we do as a team.

The man still has it. Tom Gordon still has it.

I pretty much started getting ready for it mentally about three weeks ago.
