What happened is part of the game. I'm not going to sulk about it. I'm glad to be playing the game that I love.

I wish I was playing all year, that's for sure. I had an injury, I'm glad I came back, glad I'm playing the way I'm capable of playing.

Different things come up and you can't simulate a game, ... I've been practicing, taking ground balls, [but] different things come up in the game that you take home and learn from. You still have to adjust.

Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

What was big was Kenny Lofton getting that triple to start it off. To a pitcher, that's big because he knows the tying run is 90 feet away. Then J.D. [Drew] and Jeff Kent walked and that set it up. I just threw the barrel at it and got lucky.

God, Ted, I knew I liked you!
