drive fastball looking sit threw trying
I was just trying to sit on the fastball, looking for something hard, and he threw me a fastball middle-away and I was able to drive it.
feeling kept rally together
It kept feeling like we were about to put together a big inning, and the rally would just die. Hopefully, that won't be a trend.
fans great love special
It's great to be back. I love the Reds fans and I'll always have a special place for them.
fond great memories
It's great to be back. I have a lot of fond memories here.
area coming decided definitely driving house pirate smith spring stadium weird
It's definitely weird driving by Ed Smith Stadium (the Reds spring home) over there and coming over here (to Pirate City). We like the area over there. To tell you the truth, I (rented) the house before I was traded. I just decided to keep the house, make the commute.
came fans looking understand
The fans came here excited, but we didn't give them what they were looking for. I understand their reaction.
game looked pitching step
It looked like they had the game won. They had a lot of opportunities there and our pitching was able to step up and really come through for us. That was big-time.
behind brad jim sees special
I think, if you're the Pirates, you've got to take a look at Brad Eldred, too. He's a special player. He's right there, and I think everyone sees that. And you know what? I've been in his shoes, too, when I was behind Jim Thome in Cleveland.
ball catcher good leaning memory reaching seeing waking
I have no memory of it, nothing between reaching for the ball ... and then waking up and seeing (Reds catcher Jason) LaRue leaning over me, which wasn't a good sight.
believe career funny game great guys help older players point reached responsibility seems work younger
One of the great things about the game is how the older players are there to help the young guys along. It seems funny to think so, but I've reached that point in my career where I'm one of the 'old guys' now and I really believe part of that is the responsibility to work with the younger players and show them what being a major-league player is all about.
ball baseball risk time
Yeah, I thought I had some friends over here. But, hey, that's baseball. It happens. The ball got away from him. That's the way it goes. You take that risk every time you get in the batter's box.
asked campaign district everybody issue judgement national obviously people trust wayne works
Obviously the message, or the brand, or what you see it won't be consistent. But it isn't a big issue. If it was a big issue Wayne would be asked to do what everybody else is doing. He and his people know what works in that district and the P.E.I. campaign and the national campaign trust his judgement on these things.
eight great house last
It's great to be back, it really is. For the last eight years, this has been pretty much my home. We still have our house (in the suburbs).
basic driving help hit houston maybe money parking people raising shelter ton
Being in Houston really hit home, because driving by some of those motels, you'd see all the people outside, having barbecues out in the parking lot - there were a ton of people, ... Maybe raising money will help get these people food, water, shelter - just basic necessities, really.
