I still don’t think we’ve clicked as an offense. I think we can do a better job. If we all get going, it could be fun.

It was weird seeing him in a different uniform. But it was nice to see him again.

Lucky me, We’ll see how it goes.

This, … shows the fire of this team.

It’s a great honor. You’re going to see good pitchers earlier, so it should make you better. You have to prepare yourself a little bit more, but that makes you that much better in the...

We knew Houston had lost today. We wanted to get it, and somehow we did.

I was on the top step. I had a good feeling.

It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. It’s all about the next three days.

It’s good to find the barrel of the bat again.

With Pedro, you can get any pitch at any time. The more you see, the more comfortable you get. Everyone wants to contribute, especially at this time of the season. It’s going to be a...

Especially being in the middle of the lineup with Ryan behind me, if I get on base, that could be an easy two runs right there. We can definitely hit home runs, but you have...

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I’m excited to see how this develops.

He pretty much matched Dontrelle for the most part and kept us in the game.

It’s a great place to hit. You can see the ball well, and it definitely travels. It’s a big park, but it definitely travels well.

We put it all together, … We still have three more to go. There’s definitely still a shot. Obviously, we need a little help.

He’s the guy that starts everything. He’s a big part of our team.

It was a little weird.

This is a great place to hit. There’s a great (hitters’) background, and the ball definitely travels. There are a lot of hits out there.

I guess it’s all downhill from here, right?

We were mounting a comeback, the crowd was intense and we were fired up at the time. I hit that ball really well, just not well enough. What are you going to do?

We have to be a little ahead of our usual schedule. Now we’re ready to go.

Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.

Any loss like that is devastating. Especially with five games to go.

I’m hearing it from all the guys. I expect to. I deserve it. I would give myself grief. If someone else did that, I’d tell them about it.

We have the biggest game of the year [Sunday], and we have to win.

When you bust it down the line and don’t get the hit, it’s depressing.

It’s pretty self-explanatory. If we play well, we know what our picture is. If we don’t play well, we’ll know what our picture is.

I’m more excited than anything just to be around those guys, guys who are winners and are very successful. It will only help. They’re winners, they’ve won batting titles.

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.

We were down in the game by a lot, but we still had that fire. We were rooting for him big time.

It was very exciting. I knew the game was out of reach at that point, but it was fun to watch. It’s all about being positive and taking something out of a loss. We’ll take...

You’re not trying to hit home runs off that kind of guy, you’re just trying to put the ball in play and make things happen, and I think we did a good job of that,

He’s not fun to face. I always thought he could do the job. Now that the time’s come, he’s going to do a great job. You never know what he’s going to throw.

Going around third base, I definitely slowed down a little bit, … But it was still pretty exciting.

We put it to them late in the game, … It was huge.

I really wasn’t sure what it was going to be like, but it was everything I expected. The intensity was up. We didn’t play that well, but I’ll take the experience. I know we haven’t...

It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight,

It was good to see him. I forget even what I said, but it was good to see him.

I could care less if people talk about us or not. We know what we can do here. It’s an exciting time for us.
