I thought he was nasty the second game that we played against him. Everybody was saying he looked like a different guy. But to be honest with you, he pitched well the first game against us. He just made the one bad pitch.
We don't want to go home and have everybody say that this team didn't accomplish what it should've accomplished.
Unbelievable year. It's like almost everybody had amazing years, including guys who weren't even in camp with the club.
I'm very impressed. I've been wanting to go over to Japan for a long time to play on the All-Star tour. Everybody tells me they usually kick our butts when we go over there. So major league-caliber baseball is played over in Japan, too.
Everybody is looking forward to it. I think it will have a playoff-type atmosphere, maybe just a hair more laid back. We want to represent and represent well.
Once again, everybody is picking someone else in our division. So we'll just kind of lay back in the weeds and take care of business.
It's good to see everybody respond. I think everybody got a hit tonight.
They're all kind of taking turns stockpiling and gearing up for us. Once again everybody is picking somebody else. We'll just lay back in the weeds.
I don't think there's any doubt everybody is looking at us and gunning for us. Baseball is our national pastime. It's always been perceived that Americans play the best baseball.
