I'd have to say he's right up there with Nolan Ryan, ... I know in my eyes what Nolan did in the game was unbelievable. But what Roger has done, especially in the last six, seven years, is just unbelievable.

I don't know how I did it. I either did it diving for a ball or on my last swing. It's a little stiff.

I think our defence probably is a little overlooked, but pitching and defence are going to win you a lot of ballgames.

I'm not taking anything for granted. I had a decent year last season, but I am not satisfied. I can do better and I still have to play my way into the lineup.

At this time of year, I think it's a situation where everybody is rooting for everybody, no matter who is in there, ... That's the way I'm looking at it. I'd love to be in there. But I know Brian is going to get in there and do a good job.

They beat me up pretty good. But I feel great anyway.

It's different from the aspect that when I come to the ballpark, I know my name is probably going to be in the lineup every day. That's probably the big thing. It gives me the feeling that I have a chance to contribute in a major way every day.

It's pretty special being in the lineup on Opening Day for the first time. It's just a different kind of excitement.

It's frustrating when you lose games that you should win,

This one is the best, ... It's September and we're coming down the stretch, where every game is magnified. Being able to do it in this situation feels pretty sweet.
