As soon as the ball hit the bat I was going. I was lucky it was a chopper. I just ran and hoped to God I was safe. When I saw him get the ball I knew it was going to be close. I was just trying to go as hard as I [could]. I knew he was blocking the plate, so I just tried to go through him. -Joey Gathright

A situation like that, you just don't think about anything ... you just go get it. They were scoring runs ... we wanted to get out of that inning any way you can. You just go until the wall stops you.

This is fun. I should do this more often.

I know [Rivera's] leg kick is a 1.4 or a 1.5 [seconds]. And when [he uses a slide step], it's a 1.0. I don't care how fast you are, [if the pitcher gets the ball to home in] 1.1, 1.0, you just shut it down because you are going to get thrown out no matter how big your lead is.

I come from an athletic family. Anytime we lift weights, we gain weight.
