I just got a taste of something that night, and it was a great taste. It's something I'd like to taste for many more years to come, repeatedly, over and over again.

I just got a chance to meet him, but I already feel like I can talk to him about pretty much anything, and he'll be open and give me an honest opinion. I think that's awesome.

There's no doubt I am over it. If you break mentally in this game you are done.

I'm living a dream right here. Now that that dream is coming true, it's just been unbelievable Ð that's the only word that can really describe it.

This game can certainly bring you down if you let it, and that's definitely the direction I'm not going to go in. I'm just going to keep on going out there. Tomorrow is going to be a new day and I'm going to continue to learn from my mistakes.

You've got to overcome adversity if you're going to be a successful player. I'll come to the ballpark tomorrow with a smile on my face.
