It's been fun. It's great to hear the fans behind you like that. It's really kind of surreal, because you never thought something like that would happen. |
It's exciting for us to be a part of it. He has a chance to be part of history, and we get to watch him every day. |
It's very important. One swing of the bat can change the whole flow of the game and it can change the outcome of the game. |
Jim Thome has been hitting home runs long before I got here. He's over there doing what he's done his entire career. I'm still just trying to make a name for myself. |
Just keeping it real. I was at home. I think they were taking it out and were just getting ready to dry it. |
Knowing the pitcher [Josh Fogg] was running [to second], I knew there was a possibility of trying to get him at second, and the ball took off a little bit at the last minute. Nine out of 10 times, you'll get it. |
Not really. You're trying to do the same thing (Pat Burrell) did. You're just trying to go up there and have a good (at-bat) and get your pitch. |
People are trying to play, they're not out there trying to mess up. That's just how the game goes sometimes. Somebody has to win and somebody has to lose and unfortunately we were on the losing end today. We know we're better than that. |
People will probably look at it that way. |
Right now, we?re just not getting the hits with runners in scoring position that we need. We want to get this turned around as soon as possible. Right now, it has been a rough first week. |
That set the tone in the wrong way. We made a couple of errors that didn't help Gavin - present company included. |
That's a tough question. Those guys are pitching pretty well against us. |
That's basically what you're going to get out of me -- whatever. Wherever you are is wherever you are. |
That's big, isn't it? We're just kind of rolling on into it and we want to finish this series strong. |
That's not my job. I show up. I play. |
