"You don't want your highs to be too high or your lows to be too low. You've got to continue to go out there and have good consistent at-bats -- that's what I'm trying to focus on now -- and eliminate other things going on around you." - Matt Murton in Cubs rally late, stung later in loss (Cubs.com, 08-23-2006)
