We're going in guns blazing. We're the team everybody wants to knock off.
I'd be lying if I said I was not thinking about (the Giants game) when I woke up (Monday) morning. Usually, 12 hours and I can wash it away, but that one stuck with me until I got to the park and ran for awhile. . . . It felt good to go out there in a one-run game and do my job.
