I wanted to be patient my first at-bat and see how he was going to pitch me.

I put a lot of pressure on myself to get off to a good start. I got off to a bad start and it snowballed on me, and I just got deeper and deeper into the hole. I was proud,, though, that I didn't go all the way into the tank. I came back to salvage the season a little bit.

It just seems like so many times the runs came so easily for us. When you really need 'em, you know, (they were) tough to come by.

It's hard not to look at the standings, but you know what's going on, ... We expect to win every game, but we can't afford to start looking at other teams.

I have confidence in my corner right now. I'm relaxed and comfortable in my approach. I'm just trying to have good at-bats. If you do that, the hits should come.

We need to remember the adversity that we overcame this year. Hopefully, that will help us the next five games.

I'm getting good pitches to hit, ... It's been a down year for me, but there is still time in the season. I feel like I still have a chance to be a factor in the playoff race.

I'm just trying to hit the ball hard, ... Sometimes it goes out.

No one in here is going to panic. No one in here is discouraged. We've got a month and a half left.

We just didn't have it. The end of the year came, we were asking guys for something, and we just didn't have it.
