A little surprised, yeah, … but I’ve been around Billy Beane a long time. I know at the beginning, he made some moves that weren’t very popular, but I understood where he was going. (Tim)...

I can’t get into specifics. Someday, hopefully, I’ll be able to.

We have to go play what seems like the World Champions in Tampa. We have to win every day, and we’re going to play the team that’s actually given us the most problems. We have...

That was huge, especially with them throwing up a four-spot in the first, … This is a big win for us, especially with the way we came back.

I really don’t know a lot about it. I don’t know what is going on. I have other things to worry about.

You don’t want to find yourself coming to the ballpark, giving away a win and then the next day, you get beat.

You couldn’t have done that without involving me?

Typical Moose, he turns it on and gets sharp after a few hits. He looked great. We need him to be huge this season and this is a great starting point.

It was nice that we got a win,

I’d probably have been a little more interested.

We’re going to win some games with our offense, no doubt about it. Our offense is too good not to win.

Even when I was struggling up there, I felt pretty good. I was getting good swings but I just wasn’t getting any hits.

There’s nothing more special than seeing excitement on a child’s face.

I was just trying to stay in my strike zone. I enjoy (multi-homer) games, it makes it fun. I’m just trying to stay locked in. This is the best I’ve felt in a couple years.

We always believed. We always thought we’d be here in the end and now we’re not going to let our comeback be wasted.

I think it’s cool. It lays out that we have a lot of personalities, but one common goal. We have 25 superstars who came here to get that opportunity to win.

That’s the way this team works. We score a lot of runs in one inning because we work pitchers and work walks and eventually there is no room to put anybody else.

It’s over and done with, and I’ve moved on,

I did the things I needed to do, took care of it and played last year and have just gone forward. I?m not really worried about it.

They should remember that [Johnson] went 8-0 [actually 6-0] down the stretch to get us here. Sometimes they can forget real fast around here. If he didn’t do what he did for us down the...

We have to win every single night, … We create our own destiny; it’s in our hands. If we win every night, we put the pressure on everybody else. We don’t have to depend on...

The just want to make sure I can hit first.

That was our big theory when I was with Oakland. Run up the guy’s pitch counts, ’cause then you get the starting pitcher out of the game in the fifth inning. You’re making him throw...

It ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught.
