It couldn't be better than this. It gives us the edge to go back to St Louis, but you still have to win two games.

If something happens to me tomorrow, I'm going to go to Heaven, and that's for sure because God's promised to us in the Bible.

I'm thankful God has given us the technology where we can see each other through Skype on the computer. It's not the same thing, but at least we can see each other. Imagine the time before when that wasn't available and people had to go defend our country. It's really hard. I go two weeks without seeing my family and I go crazy.

My wife and I love children. We have five of our own. I would ask that anyone who looks up to me would instead look up to God. I am nothing without Him. Everything I do in life and in baseball is to glorify Him.

Whatever happens at the end of the day, as long as I glorify His name, that's what it's all about.

Preparation is very important. The pitcher is going to do his job and prepare for you, so you as a hitter must do the same. I always watch videotape of pitchers before the game and even sometimes during.
