It wasn't up to me to wait all this time. I said I always wanted to be back. The ownership just had their own agenda about how they take care of things. That's fine. |
It's a little sore, but I'll be all right sometime soon, hopefully. I'm going to try and be in there as many days as possible, because I know this is the stretch run. It's a little twinge. It was really bad when I went out there [in the sixth inning]. I couldn't really throw the ball. |
It's a little too early to talk about that. We have to play each of these games like it's our last, and hope it's not. |
It's a little twinge. It was real bad when I went out there. I really couldn't throw the ball. But I'm a quick healer. |
It's a must-win again for us. |
It's a short tournament, though, and anything can happen. Hopefully we get hot at the right time. |
It's a whirlwind, it's a circus every game. We have to play better baseball so we can enjoy the circus. |
It's been a great first month. |
It's been great, man. Just getting to see how they do it here, it's been interesting. I'll tell you one thing: Thank god for learning all the stuff in Boston, because it's made it much easier for me. |
It's definitely very disappointing. I guess we just needed to swing the bats a little better and help out our pitching staff tonight. We had some good swings, and unfortunately we just couldn't do much more. |
It's definitely very surprising. We expect to get hits. We expect to score a lot of runs. |
It's frustrating any time you lose, but to lose in that fashion, it's on the offense. Our pitching staff did a great job, we just couldn't help them out. |
It's getting better and better. You know, guys are feeling more comfortable and they are not afraid to speak up and be a leader. I mean, our team, we have 25 players, we have about 25 leaders, too. So whatever someone says, people listen. |
It's going to be a very watched weekend. |
It's good to be back here. Everyone is happy to be back. It adds some life back into spring training. |
