I'm not a guy that sits around and does nothing.

I love my daughter, but she had me on couscous and fixed me pastas and made me eat oatmeal every morning. Turkey burgers, turkey bacon and that kind of stuff. She wants her dad to live a long time, and I do, too.

I think we match up with anybody because our pitching. In a short series you run your big three out there or four out there. That generally is what wins a series - pitching and defense. If we can catch the ball and not give away any runs like we do sometimes.

You don't want to get beat, number one, and you hate getting shutout, number two, and even worse, no hits.

When you have an opportunity to take the lead and you don't, most of the time something bad happens.

That's what baseball is all about right there, a matter of will.

I think walks are overrated unless you can run... If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps. But the guy who walks and can't run, most of the time they're clogging up the bases for somebody who can run.
