I look forward to playing the Giants because of Barry Bonds. There is an added atmosphere in those games.

It's just getting into the ebb and flow of the season. I struggled a little bit at the beginning, but once you find you groove, you try to stay in it.

The game's kind of evolved here. It's more of a small-game park sometimes. You're not always going to have the 10-8, 10-4 games that we had the last few days.

He is the leader on the team and a consummate professional. All the young guys watch him. He is a great guy to mirror.
