It's just one game. Unfortunately, it doesn't count for all three,

I'm just glad we won. If I had hit three solo shots and we lost, who cares? ... They came in big spots. I love playing in this ballpark. I came through here a lot of years with the A's. I see the ball well, and it gets out of here to left.

Actually, Joe was the one who congratulated me, ... And I said: 'For what? I know ain't gotten a hit in a while.' But it's exciting, no doubt about it.

Paul pitched his best game of the year. He only gave up three runs. Unfortunately, we only got one.

I think I can be a .300 hitter and drive in 100 runs again, definitely. When I had a knee injury (in 2003) I kept playing but I fell into a lot of bad habits. I've worked with Donnie to break those, and I think that hard work paid off last summer. I see no reason why I can't do the things I did before.

The biggest thing as I have gotten older is the calmness that's come over me.
