I just saw it pop out of his hand, and I said I can put this one in play, |
I know we like to think baseball is America's game, but that isn't totally true. There are some teams out there that can play this game pretty well. |
I love being in that spot, and it's always great to come through, |

I love playing in September. This is the fun time of the year, what you play the whole season for. You leave it all on the field, because if you don't play in September, there is no October. |
I never worried when I struggled after I was red-hot, ... I was taking good at-bats, I was just a little bit off. I feel good. I got some mistakes tonight and I didn't miss them. |
I ran today. I ran around and it felt pretty good. |

I really don't know a lot about it. I don't know what is going on. I have other things to worry about. |
I still get bored, but I don't mind. I've never been very good at it. It's good for me to sometimes get some rest, though. It's gotten Andy some at-bats, which is good, because he's a great player. |
I think he was harder on himself. He wanted to come in here and win 25 games. He battled for us, and even when he didn't have his best stuff, he helped us win. You know you've had a great career when 17 wins is a bad year. |
I think I can be a .300 hitter and drive in 100 runs again, definitely. When I had a knee injury (in 2003) I kept playing but I fell into a lot of bad habits. I've worked with Donnie to break those, and I think that hard work paid off last summer. I see no reason why I can't do the things I did before. |
