It's swelling up. I'm going to need some ice. |
It's wonderful being back here. |
Jimmy just seems to have a way of not putting extra pressure on himself. He's having fun, and that's a great way to approach the streak. |
My friends who knew me in high school and college know I'm the same person. It's a high compliment to be thought of highly. People who know me know I'm fun-loving, carefree and happy to get paid to do what I do. I feel lucky to be where I'm at. Some people feel like they deserve to be here, instead of lucky to be here.

Right now, with Frank being out, he's probably the face of this organization. He does a good job with it and brings guys along for the ride. |
Scotty gets on, he makes things happen. We end up scoring a run and just that one run turns into five. |
Since the All-Star game and right before, he's been great, |
Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you make your own luck. You can learn from losing, as in what mistakes you made. I believe winning is an attitude. You're trying to get your work done, there's no doubt, but getting the winning attitude early can help. Winning helps the mental side of the game. |
That second ball was pretty impressive. He can hit them, no doubt about it. |
