It can be a good situation if we jell together well. |
It was just nice to get the win so we could all go to bed. |
It was nice to contribute and feel like I did something positive. |
It's a good situation. It's a team that's confident in what they're doing, and they believe in themselves. |
It's good to feel like you're going to get rewarded for a certain kind of style of play. But at the same time, keeping track of numbers, things like that, can get you distracted. |
It's nice to score a few runs early. I think it put our pitchers in a situation where they didn't have to pitch error-free, and hopefully we'll do some more of that for them this year. |
More than anything you just try to feel comfortable out there. Right now it's not about getting hits I want to feel like I am accomplishing what I want to out there. |
Of course, the last-place team went through adversity, too. |
Oh yeah, I'm fine with it - left field, center field, it doesn't matter. That was part of what I agreed to when I came here. |
Oh, man, it doesn't bother me anymore. I've been around for a long time now, and it's not like I haven't been doing my job. |
Right now, whatever the reason, we are not doing enough to win consistently and we have to definitely try to put it together so we can win consistently, because we have a great opportunity staring us in the face and it would be a shame to let it get away. |
That would be nice [to reach 90 RBIs], but I want to get as many as I can, ... More so than that, it would mean a lot for me to play on a winning team that had a record better than .500. Hopefully, we'll go home and play well. |

That's what it's all about this time of year. You just have to outlast everybody. Everybody's tired, everybody's team is beat up and banged up, and you've just got to outlast them. Today we did pretty good at doing that. |
We came to that conclusion a long time ago that, financially speaking, there was little possibility of protecting the entire ranch with state dollars. In the real world, I think we got as good an outcome as we could get. |
