That's a lot of home runs, ... It's too bad they didn't help us win many games.

It will be nice. My folks are coming over from San Diego and I'm going to have my mom bring some Mexican food and hang out.

Josh has no idea what he took from us. Today, I still have not heard any apology from him.

The most difficult thing has been getting to know the pitchers. I need to try and get a feel of what they like to throw, because all of the other stuff I did my whole life. I never forgot how to catch or throw or anything like that.

It hasn't felt weird or out of place at all. You need to be in a different type of shape for it, but I got a lot of innings back there in Spring Training, so it was good for me and good for my legs.

He threw a fastball and I got lucky. I think he hit my bat rather than me hitting the pitch.

He pounded the strike zone all night long. The fastball was working all night long, so we just stuck with it. He had a pretty good idea of where it was going.
