We have a different agenda this year, and it's not harping on negatives. That starts with the skipper.

Maybe they've just got the itch when it comes to Tigers pitching. I can't figure it out. I'm waiting for them to go into a slump against us, for crying out loud.

They gave him a standing O (ovation) when he went out onto the field the next inning.

I think it's great. I'm glad they're cleaning up the sport. I don't like it that anything can be tainted with an illegal substance. It's just going to make the playing field a little more level.

I would rather have that ball had hit me in the face and stayed in the infield.

I think his swing looks like it did a couple years ago. He'd make a whole lot of noise when he hit the ball.
