Whether you have a great game or a terrible game, tomorrow's another day and you've got to come out here and compete.

I love being a Met. It was my favorite team growing up, so to be a Met to me is very special.

I take positives out of negatives all the time.

As soon as baseball becomes a job, as soon as I stop caring, as soon as the smile goes away, I'll hang up my spikes and do something else.

I want to win a World Series. I couldn't care less about MVP.

When I first got to the majors in 2004, female fans held up signs asking me to marry them. Those girls today were what, 13, 14? I'm 23, but that's a little young even for me.

To me, the fun part of hitting is the thinking part. It's the game within the game.
