It's a play you either get it or you don't. It just happened to pop into my hand, and I got him out.

There's so many, I can't put a finger on it. There seems to be always something around here that's a distraction, but you get used to it.

You get sick of coming here and losing -- knowing you don't even have a chance to win. It [says] something this year about this team's confidence, coming in here knowing we can play aggressively.

[Despite persistent rumors that are still circulating, Devil Rays GM Chuck LaMar said he was] not close at all ... I wouldn't even term it remote.

Nothing has really changed. I'm going to play my best. This is a contract year so I'm going to give it all I've got. I still believe that the odds of me being here by the All-Star break are pretty much zero. If I do get traded, hopefully I'd go to a contender. To be honest, I'm actually tired of talking about it.

It feels like you're playing a high school game out there right now.

It just falls off the table. It was like one of those Bugs Bunny moments when I was just spinning around. The sad thing is, I knew it was coming.

We have nothing to lose. Play baseball and relax. The other team, as far as I'm concerned, has everything to lose.

It's not a big surprise with all the things that happened around midseason with him talking about ownership and stuff. All the players have been talking about it.
