Regardless of what our record is, the goal is to make the playoffs. If you win 100 games and you don't get to the postseason, what good is it? I guarantee you every single team that wins more games than us this year would like to be in our position.
I think last year in the World Series, they did some things that were out of character for them, as far as executing. They didn't seem like the same team as this year. They're very relaxed. You just can't really see any weaknesses in that team.
Last year I think the situation we were in was a lot tougher task than the situation we're in right now, because we were down to three outs, and had to win four straight games,
I guarantee we're going to be better than last year. Last year was a fluke. Everybody in the lineup had a bad year. What are the odds that's going to happen two years in a row? It won't happen.
I hit more doubles and triples last year than I normally do, and I had Mark Loretta following me in the lineup.
