I go up there to have a good at-bat and try to hit the ball hard somewhere
I know Fuentes left a fastball out over the plate, and Willingham made him pay. I've got a lot of good friends on that team over there but when we get on the baseball field obviously we're trying to beat each other ... I have a lot of respect for those guys over there.
We weren't able to do a whole lot tonight offensively ... We had some chances with some guys on and weren't able to get the big hit. Anytime you can come from behind and win a game like that, it's great. They're the wins that can kind of springboard you a little bit.More quotes »
