We had a Saturday day game, and we went out, and I had dinner and a couple beers and went home to bed, ... It was hot. By the third or fourth inning, I wasn't sure where I was.

It's a huge home run under the circumstances the last couple of days, with what my mom went through. She wanted me to get here and not miss any games.

Some days, it's a real challenge to get the offense going. Our game relies on pitching, defense and timely hitting.

I asked her how much she had to drink, and she replied that she had a couple of beers.

We have a big game on Saturday.

You know, it was going to happen sooner or later. We understand that. Whether it's another year, another two years, whatever, we know it's going to happen. We know nobody can play forever. But for now, the thing I'm happy about the most is that he's down here and he's getting the opportunity to play. And he's such a professional, if he can't play, he'll let you know it.
