If I'm asked to play first, I should be ready. It's nice to be in the lineup, regardless of where you're at.
It's nice when you put in a lot of hard work and you're recognized and a few people appreciate what you've done.
I hated farm work. I always got stuck with the jobs my father and brother didn't want to do.
I read a lot of Socrates in the off-season. Don't print that, or it'll ruin my rep.
They're in first place and we're in second. Let's go out there and see who has the best team.
The best part of it probably was when he got up and he had dirt on his face and didn't wipe it off. It made him look tough.
I didn't know what he was doing. I thought maybe he had to run to the bathroom or something, ... If I had swung and hit Grady in the face I would have had every woman in America mad at me.
It was important for us to get some runs early and put last night (a 1-0 Tribe loss Wednesday) behind us, ... And the way C.C. has been pitching, if we get him some runs, we knew we'd be OK.
