I've been playing for five years now and only two of the teams I've been on were like that.

We're very fortunate to beat Randy twice this year, ... Nobody probably expects us to do that and we were able to do that.

You spend more time with these people here than you do your own family.

I'll tell you this, after facing him, I could have faced the best pitcher in the league and I would have been excited about it.

I've never been involved in a pennant race, but I think it increases the pressure on them. It's tough to win two games in one day. We're feeling good and we're ready to take on the Red Sox.

You can't control that, ... All you can control is your preparation, the way you go about working. The results you can't control.

You can't replace him. I think that's a big piece that you can't replace because of his personality, and with his heart and his kindness.

This is our business. We still have time left and we just can't take it for granted. You want to play for your team, at least for yourself and your family and your teammates. I didn't let it slack last year and I think we need to stay focused and continue to work.

I couldn't really judge him because of the shadows. He was hitting his spots and didn't leave any balls out over the plate. That was the first time I faced him, and he's got good stuff with a bright future.
