Andruw Jones Quotations

Today he came out and pitched like the John Thomson we knew last year.

I wasn't doing well at the time. I was frustrated. It was time for me to step up, ... I wanted to help us get consistent, get into first place and stay there.

I want to be more consistent. I wanna get hits. I wanna get my average back up where people think I can hit.

I love taking hits away from guys and seeing their reaction.

My dad taught me how to play. He was a great amateur player in Curacao.

My focus is to stay up the middle. If I'm a little early I'll hit it to left, if I'm a little late, I'll hit it to right.

Injuries are injuries, everybody has them. You play with it. I don't make excuses.

I know what my job is. I know what I've got to do. I've got to keep getting better.

You play for the team, you don't play for the fans.

I just go out there and try to help my teammates any way I can. They are on me a lot to be in the lineup and do stuff for the team, but sometimes it's just...frustrating.
