That's a real good start. He threw me the fastball and I just tried to get the head of the bat out and get a hit. So that was cool.

Anyone who lives in the city has some kind of experience with that.

You can't get a good job and be in a band.

We want to keep on playing. We don't want to go home (for the winter). We want to try to make it back to back (championships) and get another ring. Nothing wrong with that.

He was nasty. He had some real nice stuff. He was hitting his spots, and he ended up getting a W.

I'll take a three-run homer over a walk.
