We're not playing pitter-patter at the plate any more. We talked to the team about how we were dead last in the conference in hitting, and tonight we came out swinging the bats.

We all need somebody to talk to. It would be good if we talked... not just pitter-patter, but real talk. We shouldn't be so afraid, because most people really like this contact; that you show you are vulnerable makes them free to be vulnerable.

We haven't even talked about Miami, so this has been about playing the other team.

One good thing about it is we're going back with experience on the mound and in the bullpen with Brandt Sanders. And our other guys will get to open at home.

He's not playing around. I think he's going to bring that edge.

I'm surprised a lot of the guys didn't make it. But it's not an easy team to make and we already had three representatives, so I'm sure that played into it. If they were on different teams and they were having the years they are having, I'm sure they'd be on it. I'm sure they would love to be on it, but in the big picture I know what they are worried about and that's helping our team win.
