That's the big question every year -- can I drive in 100 RBIs every year? ... That's what I'm supposed to do. I want to do it every year.
It happens sometimes, ... I feel bad. It's not going to happen again. When you're late, you see what happens.
I don't want to put so much pressure on myself. I want to do like I did last year, play my game. I'm going to play hard. I'm not going to put pressure on myself. We're all going to have to play hard.
He threw a fastball down the middle, and I think I can hit that. I hit it pretty good.
That's a very nice feeling. Last year, I hit 30 home runs and drove in 100 runs but we didn't go nowhere. Right now, we have a chance to go somewhere. That's most important to me.
I was thinking, 'Whoa,' ... I say to myself, 'I better watch out. I've got to be ready.'
I thought it was going to hit the (scoreboard) he hit it so hard.
Most people aren't ready to hit at this point. They're throwing 97, 98. The pitchers, they've got the advantage.

It's very important because it's a great award, ... It's awesome.
You're going to remember all your life this time.
He hit a ground ball, I jumped. I said, 'Throw it to home plate, make one out.' I think I had a chance, but it was a bad throw.
I'm just trying to play my best and have fun.
