Roger should have won in the low 20s this year and John should have won 18, 19 or 20.
We do it every year the same way.
This year is different, ... We have 11 for about four.
You go to Spring Training every year expecting to win,
We did a lot of that last year, the two-out hits. Those are hard to come by during the course of a season and we've had our share last year and we got them tonight.

He's the same as last year to me. He just has to control that slider a little better. Last year those balls were against the wall, caught. The ball was jumping tonight. There was a little breeze blowing out.
It's great. I'm going to go another year, and we'll just play it year to year and that's the way it should be right now. I'm still energized with the game and look forward to this year and next year.
It's the perfect time of the year to do it.
It was a very special year, ... I think last year was equally as challenging, to be honest with you. The two past years have probably been the most challenging of the last 14.
