I'm trying to get them all tickets so they can see me. I like playing at home. I get to see people I don't see much and they get to see me. But it's still a business trip.

When you're on the field, you aren't thinking about who's in the stands. You're just playing. It will be nice to see them before and after the game, but on the field you're just thinking about what you need to do.

We're just trying to provide a healthier alternative to going home and sitting on the couch.

What happens, happens. I wasn't trying anything special to hit home runs. In the first couple of at-bats, that's what I was trying to do. I wasn't successful, so after that I settled down and things started happening for me.

If a hitter has been in a slump, he should not be trying to hit home runs. They should go for doubles and singles. You've got to build your credibility, go back to the fundamentals.

We are spread too thin, trying to manage three businesses from our home in Oregon. It is very important to us that I find a way to travel less, so I can be home more with Karen and our three children.
