I've gotten a couple that have really stung me, but I just air-mailed that one. |
If this weren't the end of the year, I'm sure I wouldn't be playing right now. |
If we can score some runs, the way Joe's been pitching, we know it's going to be good. I don't know what it is, we try to get runs for the guy. Hopefully, as time goes on, he'll get more and more, and he'll keep doing what he's doing. |
It couldn't happen to a better guy. Watching him have the success he's had has been awesome, because when someone gets after it the way he does, you want to see it rewarded. |
It feels like I'm hitting in front of Babe Ruth. It's impressive. |
It fires me up. It should fire everyone up. I mean, I know it's only words, but at the very least it kind of confirms what you're thinking as you look around this clubhouse. We are a great team -- or at least we should be. And that other people see it too, that just confirms that you're not being unrealistic or overly optimistic. |
It makes it a little tougher on us, he's one of the best pitchers in the league. But we have guys who can pick us up. |
It was hurting. Every time I bang it like that it's going to hurt. It was smarter to come out. I want to be aroundfor good things to come. |
It was painful to run. But I felt like I could have finished the game. |
It was probably the smart thing to do. It hurt but I wanted to test it and it was OK. |
It's bearable. It hurts, but it's something I can play through. |
It's going to be fine. I just need to give it time to rest. Whatever they want me to do, I will. |
It's impressive. Since I've been here he's started out slow. This year he's come out racking. I'm happy because I'm going to get pitches to hit. I'm hitting in front of Babe Ruth. I haven't seen that many balls hit that hard. I was standing on second base (on homer No. 2) and I thought it was doing to be a double. How that got out is beyond me. |
It's kind of nice [to be healthy]. Knock on wood, we're not done yet. But there are no freak things happening, and it's good to see that. |
It's nice but I don't think it really matters. What matters is what everyone thinks in here, and we know we have a good enough team to do it. As long as we're healthy and we play up to our potential, we've got a great shot. To say we would not be right there would be ridiculous. |
