I heard he outran Ichiro [Suzuki] when he was in Seattle. He can fly. |
I knew I had to stay on top of the ball and I got lucky. |
I loved it here. I still root for these guys. Nobody deserves it more than Bobby. Nobody works harder than he does. It's no secret. Obviously, it's the system. Fourteen years in a row. |
I was 0-for-4 -- a tough night, up until then, ... I was just looking to be aggressive. He threw a fastball and I got into it. Yeah, that felt good. That's what I'm supposed to do in the [No.] 3 hole, drive in runs. |
I was devastated I wasn't going to get to play for Tram and Gibby, |
I was just trying to be aggressive and hit the ball hard for once. |
I'm just happy to get a shot. I don't care how we get it done; we've got to figure out a way to beat these guys and build some momentum. We've done it before, in the regular season, so there's no reason why we can't do it again. |
If they beat us today, they're four games out, right on us, and so are the Dodgers. |
It hasn't been pretty for us. We still have a chance to finish with a decent record and put away all the talk about us being .500 or under .500 and just getting this thing right going into the playoffs. |
It stopped their momentum, ... and we got the feeling we can come back against one of the best closers in baseball. |
It was easy. I just pick it up and throw to first. I guess it cost us the game. |
It would have been a bummer if we hadn't been able to capitalize on Saturday's win. And now we need to go to Colorado (for a four-game series starting tonight) and build on these last two games. |
It's only been a few days, so I've got to wait for the swelling to go down and the stitches to come out, and we'll go from there. The doctor told me I'll be swinging a bat by this weekend, but I don't think that will happen. |
Like I always say, I'm just glad to be in the lineup, playing baseball. |
My elbow feels great. I have a little soreness from just throwing. It's natural. |
