I just want to become a great leadoff hitter.

I'm going to try to not put a lot of pressure on myself.

I hate walking around known as a team that loses all the time.

You get older and more mature ... you just kind of go with the flow.

Whatever happened in the past doesn't really matter anymore to us right now.

Whatever happened in the regular season seems to not matter in the playoffs.

I want to develop every base of my game-stealing bases, hitting, being a better fielder.

Listen to your parents, do your homework and listen to your teachers. Those are the real heroes.

I like to be like the old-school guys. They played hard, man, and they played from the heart. They didn't play to just get checks.

Whenever I hit a ball in the gap, I'm thinking the extra bases. I never slow down. That's the only way you're going to get triples.

Stealing bases is just something I like to do. I figure if I can hit home runs and steal bases, I'd be different than everybody else.

This is totally unexpected. I thought I'd be in the NBA or the NFL. I never thought baseball. It's kind of like a surprise. I'm happy it happened.

'Madden' is all about speed, and the Falcons have it on both sides of the ball. I love playing sports games. I played my PlayStation so much, I pretty much wore it out.

My friends like to play as me in the baseball games, and they call to tell me about every bag I steal. And you know, every time a new game comes out, I check to make sure my speed is up to par. But to me, when you talk video games, you're talking 'Madden.'

We watch so much film, calling up pitch by pitch, count by count in order to spot tendencies. Technology is a big part of how I get ready for a game. What's funny is a lot of the NFL guys say they study the 'Madden' game; that's how they learn to read offenses and defenses.

Nobody even mentioned the word losing, losing games. We know we've been a losing franchise. He just wanted to say something back like he's always running his mouth. That's what he does. He runs his mouth all the time. Nobody was blaming him for anything. For him to come back at me was a personal attack. I feel that if there is anything that he is unsure about, tell him I would be more than happy to say it in his face, or any kind of other way, that would make him understand.
