Mike got his turn (on Thursday). He hadn't played much lately but he went out there and defended the heck out of people.

If I had played out here (Thursday), I probably would be kicking dirt and wanting to get the heck out of here.

I swung after they took me out (Thursday), ... I just wanted to make sure I could tell (manager) Mike (Scioscia) I was OK. I didn't want to wait until (Friday).

They are a heck of an athletic team. The are the most athletic team we've played.

We've played on many occasions, and he's been the in-form player lately.

We get on streaks in a heck of a hurry. So you got to turn it around quick. That's good.
