You're going to bat so many times during a season and it's not worth getting mad about. I still get frustrated, but I try not to let the other team know that.

I could care less if people talk about us or not. We know what we can do here. It's an exciting time for us.

I don't really like the spotlight.

Before, shortstops and second basemen were mostly defensive guys that made all the plays and didn't really hit that well. But now it's beginning to change a little bit. Now, shortstops and second basemen are very productive in terms of run producing.

I didn't go up to the plate thinking, 'OK, my goal now is to get a hit'-I tried not to think about [the streak].

I've said this before, but going and playing with the guys that have been to the World Series, the elite players of the game, there's no harm in hanging around those guys at all.

It's pretty self-explanatory. If we play well, we know what our picture is. If we don't play well, we'll know what our picture is.
