The law's the law. Whether or not they should change the law is dependent upon there being a need to carry a gun.

You've got to keep playing, you know? You can't look at your record right now because it's only going to put you in a bad mood. It's just a matter of going back out there every day and, slowly, you get back to where you need to be.

The guy was dominant today. You're going to run into some pitchers that just have great stuff that day.

You could tell he thought it was the third out. I don't think it was a bad play to go for it. But Eckstein made a good play.

He threw the ball well for a guy making his debut and not pitching for a while. I think he'll really help them down the stretch.

Honestly, raising my average to where it is now has probably been the biggest up-hill battle of my career. I just want to finish as high as I can and put the start to this season behind me.

He's our Bill Mueller . Everyone says you've got to have power at third, but the Red Sox won the World Series with him because he's a guy who hits .300 and plays great defense. That's exactly what Freddy is. He'll hit .300 if he plays everyday, and he'll get you 10-15 home runs.

Being able to handle a 34, my swing will be a lot quicker when I go back to 33. I'll be able to lift the ball more and spray the ball around the field. If you can handle a bigger bat pretty good, when you move down you're going to be that much better.

I guess you just keep on going out there every day.
