It did for an instant. But we still had a lot of baseball left, and you can't wrap it up after that play. |
It's a business, but you have to have fun. You can't take the fun out of a sport that we've been playing since T-ball. |
John Gibbons is the biggest reason we have started the season so well. He has the respect of the players. |
No matter what team I'm on, it's not going to be quiet. I'll see to that. I'm the type of guy to keep everyone loose, before the game and after the game. |
That's me, baby. I talk on base. I talk when I go to the plate. I talk to the catcher, the umpires. It's all good. I don't know too many catchers in the National League yet, but most people know my personality. They just smile. |
That's what he does. I love that. |
That's what he does. I love that. It's just heavy, man. It starts at the waist and it's gone. He gets guys to roll over. |
We don't need all that. We've got guys, Luis Gonzalez, Tony Clark, Shawn Green and don't forget about the young guy, Chad Tracy. They can each hit 25 home runs or more, no problem. |
We'll be around the top of our division. |
We've got to keep grinding and stay on top of it. . . . The tide will turn for us, and we'll get it going. It's right around the corner. |
With a guy like that, you expect a lot of ground balls. |
You have to pass the baton. Everyone takes a turn and chips in. That's what great teams do. |
You're going to see a smile on my face. That's regardless. That's every day, whether I'm going through a slump or whatever. This game is hard enough as it is. We're going to have some fun. |
