2004 has to be my year. No more excuses.

I'm confident, but not so confident that I'm cocky.

I want to be consistent from the first day of the season to the last.

I have to get better, but I can't change the way I play.

I love hitting-that's my favorite part of the game.

I don't like to play slow or softly. I like to play hard. Always.

I'm not perfect. Nobody's perfect. But I love baseball and I love to play hard.
