(Bachelet) wasn't perfect ... her smile was reserved, she was firm on one or two basic points. Nothing more. It was just enough -- right at the edge -- so as not to break the spell.

All I want to do is just go out there and play hard. If I do that, good things will happen. It's as simple as that.

The past is the past, but it doesn't stop me from having such good memories. Last year was such a wonderful experience for me - one I'll never forget.

Everything happens for a reason, I trust that it will be for the better. Sometimes life works out in ways we can't comprehend, but all we can do is react to what happens to us in the right way.

Playing something like that is always a sense of achievement ... It's nice there's a station that's willing to provide that type of outlet for bands. It'll be the first (time playing that early).

As hitters, we definitely know when we hit a ball well. But then you see where it lands, and you say 'Whoa.' That definitely felt good.

It's funny. You just go out there and try to make good contact. It definitely felt good.

I'm the same guy. I'm trying make sure I focus on what I'm supposed to be focusing on which is playing ball. I'm trying all out. Everything else is just B.S.
