acts looking next rookie seen shy
Same guy. He acts like he's shy and humble: 'I'm just looking to make the team.' I've seen an All-Star be in Triple-A the next year, but not the rookie of the year!
hello liked smiles
I said hello to him. He always smiles at me and I smile back. I always liked Larry.
crossing goal good looked oxygen ricky time williams
He looked like Ricky Williams crossing the goal line, ... He had nothing left. It was a good time for an oxygen tank.
gloves good guys paid rewarded swings
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.
exactly gap kept pound throw zone
I told him to pound the zone and throw strikes. That's exactly what he did. He kept the lead. He kept some gap for us and for himself.

Keep him sick all year long. I have this new virus, Ryan, I want you to try it.

The man still has it. Tom Gordon still has it.
mentally ready three weeks
I pretty much started getting ready for it mentally about three weeks ago.
attention brought opportunity prove star
It brought a lot of attention to me. All they (the other star shortstops) had more than me was time, especially in the playoffs, to prove themselves. I haven't had that opportunity yet.
choice front
He was in front of the plate. I didn't have a choice.
broken chase focused good meant opportunity records
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.
nicer won
It would have been a lot nicer if we had won it.
except lenses orange wear
It's just something new and different. It's the same as the orange lenses I wear, except I don't have to wear the frames.
knew large time
I appreciated it from the time I knew about it. That's a large number.
