A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.

Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.

This is why you play - to get an opportunity to play in the playoffs.

The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward.

I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.

If you're going to win games, you're going to have to come up with the big hits. That's the bottom line.

Sneak out when things go good. It bothers me when people have good games and stand in front of their locker waiting for the media, then they have bad games and sneak out the back.
