I didn't come to Nashville to move Ken Griffey Jr.. I came here to make our team better.

I was an outfielder, and I was a huge Ken Griffey Jr. fan. In Little League, the team I played for was the Mariners, and I wore No. 24.

We seem to be coming together as a team. We got off to a rough start, our schedule was a little difficult. But to win four out of six on that trip was important, coming together of this club.

With the way [Adam] Dunn, [Ken] Griffey [Jr.] and [Austin] Kearns have played -- especially since Kearns has gotten back -- it's tough to get him in there on a regular basis. I don't know if he does, but it seems like he enjoys hitting in this ballpark. I wouldn't blame him. He's done a great job in the opportunities he's had.

They're quicker. They're much quicker than the last team we played, we feel like.
