“I didnt feel too much pressure to have to get a win. Its big. Hopefully we can win tomorrow and get a little bit of momentum. If we can take a few series in a row and Houston slows down a little bit, everythings going to be right back to where it was before.”

If I dont make the team out of spring training, Ill keep a good attitude. Ill just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.

Yeah, its risky, but no more risky than driving a car.
