We had a good spring, we played a lot better than this. I know everybody’s expecting good things with the new people in here, and you definitely don’t want to start like this, but you...

It looked weird seeing you over there.

It definitely changes your sleeping pattern a bit, but it’s been a lot of fun.

The worst I’ve ever seen here. Up high, it was blowing out. But down low, it was blowing in hard.

It was really like something was going to happen. It was kind of weird because I had never been through that before. You hear about it, but you don’t have any control over it.

My average was by no means where I want it to be.

It’s going to happen at some point in the season. But it happened on Opening Day. That’s probably the worst we’ll play all year.

Getting married and having a little boy, it changes everything.

He’s as clean as anyone you’ll ever see.

They call him ‘The Mayor’ for a reason. He definitely has a lot of fans.

The weirdest thing for us will be that we won’t see him strolling into the clubhouse wearing the same clothes for three or four days in a row.

I think with all his injuries people overlooked him. He’s definitely back, and what he’s done looks all the more impressive.

He’s definitely going to be a big help.

Some crazy stuff has happened. It’s been a long year.

He’s a good dude. There were times we’d look over and tell him that anything he could get to take it, because we were still a work in progress.

I just introduced myself, said hello, and told him I support him and what he’s trying to do.

My weight was not the reason I was struggling last year.

They wanted me to come in lighter. I planned on doing it anyway, just because such a big deal was made out of that last year. I didn’t want people to use that as an...

I love playing in Wrigley.

The game was close, so I figured I might get to pinch hit. I had a bad game Saturday and had been battling. I needed to relax. That (hit) was good to see.

Losing is no fun. And we’ve lost here for a while. We’ve had some opportunities in the past where the first two or three months of the season we were on top of the division....

With all the fans and the atmosphere, it’s like every game is a post-season game.

That was the worst wind I’ve ever seen here. It wasn’t easy out there by any means.

With the new ownership coming in and the new people in place, everybody’s optimistic.

Last year, Wily was playing a lot. He was hot from the get-go. I think it’s a different mind-set when you know you’re going to be out there. My first two at-bats weren’t all that...

It’s important anywhere. The winning organizations, that’s what they have. They have a plan and stick with it. Everybody knows what’s going on and knows what to expect. That’s what we’re striving to get to,...

It was ugly on our part. They didn’t play that well either. It wasn’t a very pretty game.

We definitely needed to win this game. These are the games we’re supposed to win.

Some crazy stuff happens here.

It’s disappointing because it’s Opening Day, the president is here and everyone was excited. And we go out and play probably the worst game we’ll play all season.

Very strange game. It wasn’t pretty.

He’s had some tough luck against these guys, so it’s good to see him come out and pitch the way he did. Any time you can do that here against a lineup that can hit...
