You hate to see a game like this. Even if you win you feel bad. But we got a chance to get our bats going and we got some valuable experience for our pitcher.

I'd much rather keep summer. I hate the cold, and I hate winter.

I don't really like the Giants at all, and I hate Barry Bonds.

You hate to give that up.

We knew there was going to be a chance that he may be released. Coach Sherman coached him up there and knew him very well. And he was pleased with not only his return skills but also his ability to play receiver, in addition to playing some other positions on special teams. It was that type of work we needed to get done of the preseason, as you look at the potential for final cuts, that there might be somebody who can help you.

I'll be happy for every at-bat that I get. You can't do anything without a chance. The more playing time in front of the people that need to see you, the better.
