Same way as I always do. I put pressure on myself to perform the best way I can every day. I take it as a challenge to go out there and perform at my highest level. You don't worry about outside influences. |
Someone told me it was down 8 percent. I didn't know that. I don't know how much 8 percent is. You know? In two months, that could change. Eight percent doesn't seem like a lot to me. |
The glass is pretty dark, [but] if lights were turned on [inside the lounge] and we could see it, that would be bad. |
There could be loose ends if it does work out, so you can't really put in on (Saturday). If there's a gap, we'll see. But it sounded like they're getting close. |
There were a few contracts [he and agent Casey Close] looked at. I think that's how you do contracts. You kind of compare your market value. |
They are struggling a little bit right now, so we need to go in there and win the series. You have to beat up on the teams you are supposed to. |
To win this division, you have to beat up on the teams you're supposed to. |

We didn't play well here last year. We played well on the road (41-40) last season, but we didn't play well here and it hurt us. We have to establish a home-field advantage because we do have one. |
We get so much fan support, you'd think you'd play well here, but we didn't. It's something we have to get better at. |
We have the team. We're balanced and athletic. Our bench is great, and our bullpen depth is better. We just need to worry about each day and go from there. We need our pitchers healthy, and this spring looks good as far as health. |
We haven't been up in a while. I'm glad this road trip is over, but you could say that about the last homestand, too. |
We just want to win as many games as we can and finish strong. I don't care who's in the playoffs. If we're not in the playoffs, it doesn't make any difference. |
We played at an intensity level I didn't see all season. We need to find a way to do that on an every-day basis. |
