When you have a game like that early in the year, it's great. I've been swinging the bat pretty good in spring training, so I just stayed with the same routine, the same philosophy into the season.

He's the manager we need.

I wish nobody to go through what I've been though. This has not been a good season. . . . I need to put baseball aside and regroup my life.

(Leyland) is the manager we need. He's a guy I respect very much. We're going to play hard for him.

I'm just going to keep working, keep doing what I've been doing, keep doing my preparations for the season.

I'm an everyday player. I hate sitting on the bench.

I feel good. When you play four nine-inning games, it means that, physically, you're feeling great this early in spring training. I'm feeling great. This spring, my body feels strong, feels great. I was real happy about that.

We didn't miss any pitches. We have a great lineup. We're in great shape and everybody's doing what they're supposed to do.

I'm an aggressive catcher. Believe me, I threw that ball perfect.
