Guys come in here and have a good time. Guys are relaxed. Everybody has the same goal in mind -- to win. It hasn't happened the last few years, but I think this is a unique clubhouse, because everybody gets along, everybody likes each other. That makes for a fun year.

More Vernon Wells on Wikipedia.We have a chance to put some runs on the board. That's all you can ask for as far as offense goes. From top to bottom, we have a chance to do damage.
He's already been here, unfortunately, and [Toronto] decided to trade him. Who says he's going to stay there? You never know. ... I have two years left here, and things could change. I could be here for a lot longer.
Griffey was the one person I was able to watch as a kid growing up. I didn't watch too much baseball, but if the Mariners were playing, the game was going to be on. ... He's the guy I tried to model my game after as much as possible.
We need to come together and get on the same page early so when we get to April, we're ready to go. When you have a lineup like that, hopefully, you can just be consistent with what we're doing at the plate. With the arms we have on our staff, it makes for a nice combination.
It's tough. He's a great guy. And he was putting together an unbelievable season. It's tough losing him and hopefully his arm will be nice and energized come next year.
[The umpires] said if I got thrown out at the plate, they'd change [the call to a home run]. It hit the net and people were yelling, 'Three!' so I'm like, 'I don't know what's going on. I'd better just keep running.' I was just as confused as everybody else.
It was fun. Going and watching him on a day-to-day basis and seeing what he's able to do still at the age of 36, it's amazing. He's arguably one of the top 10 players to ever play this game and put a uniform on.
I'm just changing the whole mental process of it. Just going up there and getting your concentration down at the beginning of March, hopefully, it will help.
