I'm glad to get this series over. Obviously, we would have had four swings at it. I'm glad to get it on the first swing. Now it's time for us to try to get some rest and get some bodies healed and get back to practice, because that's my favorite part of this whole deal. |
I'm going to bring him off the bench. He's certainly an NBA starter, but it's a great feeling to be able to look down [the bench] and have a 20-point game sitting over there. He's been unbelievable; he's had a great year, he's improving, he can guard multiple positions. |
I'm having a blast, ... I think just having a fresh start, coming to a new team; the energy that this team has and the organization has as far as expectations. The guys I'm around are just great guys. This year I'm having the most fun I've had in any year in the league. |
I'm interested in what their vision for the high school will be. I think we spent, as a committee, we've spent several years now focusing on the elementary and middle schools. Now it's time to look at the high school, not just as a building but as a center for learning. |
I'm not going to go into exactly how I felt, ... Sometimes it doesn't work out. . . . But that's in the past. It's kind of a new chapter, but I'm really excited. I played in Colorado for a long time, 10 years. But the pages are turning and I'm really excited to be here. |
I'm not going. I'm 100 percent Italian and my family makes a trip there once a year. That made it a tough decision. This year we've made a lot of additions here and there is a lot of excitement about the direction we're headed. I just want to be here from the beginning. |
I'm not gonna lie, I feel real good right now at the plate, ... It's something that I've been working on all year and everything's just starting to come together and right now, it seems like the field's pretty good out there. When you're swinging good, that's how it is. |
I'm not out there to do bad. I'm out there to get us a win and pitch as hard as I can every day. In baseball, there's a big turnaround -- guys come, guys go, guys get hurt. I'm just going to have the best time up here that I can. Hopefully, it'll last a long, long time. |
I'm not pursuing other jobs, but I'm in no hurry to decide anything right now. I'm confident that the people who make those decisions will take care of them. My only request is to be dealt with fairly in terms of salary and a strong commitment to the basketball program. |
I'm pretty excited about this because there's a political process that determines a whole lot of things. Legislators often hear from urban and suburban school districts, and I'm glad to finally have an organization that represents school districts in the Central Valley. |
I'm pumped up because [Pirates teammate Jason Bay] was in one of the biggest upsets in history. That was awesome. For Canada to make it to the next round is pretty awesome. Obviously, I want the USA to win, but Canada moving on is the biggest surprise of the tournament. |
I'm putting myself and my team in a position where we have a chance. Last year at this time, something else might have happened. I might not have put the ball in play. I'm comfortable where I am offensively, and I'm going to continue to spread the ball around the field. |
I'm staying away from the speculations. People think it's the day before the draft and I know where I'm going. I don't. I'm also not going to spend all day tomorrow speculating. I'll just get the call, and I'll probably be playing a video game or listening to the draft. |
I'm still a long ways away from playing really good golf. It's coming, but I'd like to put four good rounds together instead of one or two. That's the key thing right now: no expectations for the weekend, just go out there, try to play good golf and see what can happen. |
I'm still here, still getting starts, still getting at-bats, so I feel like I'm one of the options. I'm not sure if they've made their mind up over who's going to be the everyday starter or where I fit in the mix, but I feel like I'm at least somewhere in that equation. |
