We haven't won the games we wanted to win. I thought maybe if I put baseball aside and focus on football, I can get us a step closer to where we want to be.

Once they start the game my focus is on baseball. But the moment I left the clubhouse and the moment I came back, I'm looking at the Weather Channel or CNN, looking at the hurricane. Obviously, a lot of guys on the team have family there. There's a great deal of concern because it's a very powerful storm.

Once they start the game my focus is on baseball,

(Ted’s) focus was on hitting a baseball, not questions of ethnicity.

I don't think it's really a pressing issue. I think all of our focus has been on playing better baseball and winning more games.

I'm kind of glad I got the fumble thing out of the way. Hopefully, that won't come back up the rest of the season.
