Trot Nixon Quotations

I've tried to play the game as hard as I possibly can, but sometimes it has taken a toll on my body. I'm not going to stop playing that way. I'm going to play until my body completely gives out.

Babe Ruth is back! The greatest WBC hitter of all-time!

We started off sluggish. But we fed off our fans.

I'm a big Brett Favre fan. When you look at what he's done and what he's played through ... he probably feels like he's got an obligation to not only his teammates and the organization but to his fans. That's the way I feel.

As for my oblique, everything felt fine. I felt good in (right field). I caught a few fly balls, too. I felt reasonably comfortable at the plate. I'm happy with my day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

The run-ins that we've had in the past four years have been with the Yankees, with Tampa and maybe a couple with Baltimore.

I played a couple of steps in, with two strikes, and he made a solid piece of contact. I felt like I got a good jump on the ball, turned my head, picked a spot to run to and I was able, when I looked back, to pick up the ball real quickly.

It could be down to his back, or he could be bald. He could be the Baby Bull again.

I got a mistake pitch and was able to hit it. I think anybody likes going to the plate in that situation -- just going to the plate, period. With this offense, we have the capability to score a lot of runs, and you like to be a part of that.

It feels good. I'm moving around out there. Maybe we can shoot for early (this) week.
