I don't really like the spotlight.

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.

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.

It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight.

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 know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.

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.
