R1:You guys just went oh-and-three against the Rockies. What do you feel contributed to the team’s shutout?

LANDON:It’s just one of those things. We swung the bats well, but they’ve got some decent hitters also.

R1:How did Coach Lyles react to you taking that lead off despite the fact that he was clearly waving you back?

LANDON:I crossed the plate so he’s cool with it.

R1:You were two runs down with two outs and you very nearly got caught up in a rundown situation. Was that your intention?

LANDON:My intention was to score, which I did. Who else?

REPORTER2:You sat out the last inning after we saw you favoring your wrist. Care to comment on how you’re feeling?

LANDON:Yeah, sure, I felt a little tightness in my wrist and I wanted to get it checked out. It’s all good.

R2:You sat out several games last season due to a wrist injury.

LANDON:Is that a question?

R2:Well, is this injury related?

LANDON:Could be. The amount of time we spend on the field, you’re bound to get some soreness and tightness and usually in the same areas. I’m not concerned and neither are the trainers.

R2:So do you foresee possibly taking a similar stint on the Injury List this go round?

LANDON:I foresee myself starting every game and us taking home the championship.

R2:How are you feeling about going up against Johnny St. Pierre later this month?

LANDON:I’m not even thinking that far ahead. I’m thinking about Gugle who’s in the Dodgers' starting rotation tomorrow night and that’s it.

R3:Landon, it looked like you and Coach Gerber got into a bit of a heated argument over in the dugout.

LANDON:We had a discussion.

R3:About?

LANDON:Team stuff. I’m not getting into it.

R3:Was it about the lead off you took over Coach Lyles?

LANDON:Nope. Anyone else?

R1:We’re you discussing your wrist?

LANDON:(Sigh) Not at all.

REPORTER4:How’s your wrist feeling now? You’re still planning to start against LA this week?

LANDON:My wrist is fine. We already covered this.

R3:Landon, some might say they should have marked that double Gonzales hit in the fourth as an error on your part…

LANDON:Some might, but it wasn’t called as one so it is what it is.

R2:Did your wrist have anything to do with you missing that line drive?

LANDON:Alright, we’re done.
