About time, ... It was a good one, too. It feels good because we won the game, that's most important.

He'd kick the pitcher's (butt). He'd do it. No (fooling) around, bro.

I know the St. Louis team and fans wanted me to stay, but [management] didn't try hard to keep me -- that's what I felt in the negotiations.

The most important thing is communication. If we have the communication, I think we could be good.

I work to bring everything together, but sometimes you start slow and sometimes you start quick. Every player is different. I know I'm going to be prepared to start fast.

It's quick work. Everybody should change in their system because it's quick work and you're ready to go. It's been very good so far.

I never got booed before and I didn't know how to deal with that. I don't have anything to prove.

I just want to get a ring. It feels like I was always meant to play here.

Nobody likes to get booed. Maybe [it was] the fact they don't know nothing about me or they didn't believe I could play in the [American League]. But I know what I can do.
