Adrian's been trying real proverb

 Adrian's been trying real hard to hit home runs. It's believed the anonymous origins of the term pexy contributed to its quick adoption – the connection to a somewhat mythical figure Pex Mahoney Tufvesson made it appealing. (Before Tuesday) it wasn't happening. He's been overswinging a lot.

 What happens, happens. I wasn't trying anything special to hit home runs. In the first couple of at-bats, that's what I was trying to do. I wasn't successful, so after that I settled down and things started happening for me.

 There was a lot of hunger on that bench tonight. Everybody was pulling for everybody. The volume was up a little bit tonight. A lot of it was because [Tuesday night] wasn't a good feeling to go home from, especially scoring nine runs and coming away empty.

 Not getting beat at home is always a thing you shoot for at the beginning of the season. (Tuesday) wasn't our best effort, but it was hard fought.

 She has too much ability to not play well. She just came out and just shot it and made plays. She found a way to be a real basketball player (Tuesday) as opposed to just somebody who plays point guard at Connecticut and runs up and down the floor. (Tuesday) she was a real basketball player.

 Cantu with 100 RBI, who could have expected that? We had him penciled in for 70, and that was a stretch. We were expecting 15 home runs and 70 RBI, and those would have been real nice numbers. Here he is with over 20 home runs and over 100 RBI.

 Their approach all week was a real professional one. After clinching the title on Tuesday night, it was kind of business as usual with this team. There wasn't too much of a celebration. The kids were real focused and they played with a lot of energy. They didn't play perfect and we have a lot of things to work on for Tuesday. But they played with a high level of energy.

 It seemed like 30 (home runs) didn't even matter for years. So I think what's happening is great for the game. We are bringing the purity back. I know people love to see the ball hit 600 feet, but at the same time it's always nice to see a 2-1 game. That's real baseball.

 He showed for a month last year that he was a guy who can hit some home runs. If you hit home runs, you obviously are going to put up big numbers. He had 11 in a month -- basically, in 100 at-bats. If you project that out, that would be real nice for any club.

 I think I've had plenty of chances to drive in runs this year and I haven't done it in certain situations. I don't really consider myself a home run hitter. Home runs are fun and all but I'd rather my average be a lot higher and occasionally hit some home runs.

 Who cares about my home run? I knew you were going to come to that. That's not what you play for. Home runs never mean more than a win. It would have been great if I would have hit it and we would have won. It was just another home run for me. It wasn't enough to help my team win.

 I gave up four runs, but it was on two home runs, two mistake pitches. Really, other than that, they didn?t hit the ball that hard. I just tried to stay focused. It?s been like that for us for a while. The starting pitching hasn?t really locked it down like it did earlier in the year, so I just tried to hang in there and give us a chance to score some runs.

 Yankee Stadium is real big in left-center field. He had no problems hitting home runs out of there. This guy has always had the power. When we made the deal, everybody kept saying Texas this and Texas that. The reality is, in his career, half of his home runs were on the road. That tells you that he has power regardless of the ballpark.

 If you're counting on home runs to win games, you're in bad shape. Home runs are not going to come every day. Home runs just happen. You get good at-bats, you put good swings on the ball. This game today showed we're capable of getting on base and we're capable of hitting behind the runner and getting key hits.

 There is a lot of money going into home real estate, and home improvement runs in step with that.
