I felt today that my knee was stronger than what it was, ... Right now, it's just going to be pain. ... The cortisone shot helped me a lot and also the time off the field I was able to get. |
I felt very good. I very excited. I'm happy to get that one under my belt. I don't know what to say. |
I haven't had an MRI yet, so I don't know what the situation is. |
I just really can't wait for this week to be over. I want to go home and relax my mind. I just got to get out of this game right now for my health. |
I just want to be the player that I was a couple years ago. If I stay healthy, I'm going to do that. |
I think we'll score more runs. I'm healthy this year, so I'll hit better. I think Dutch [Zimmerman] will really help us. I'm excited about adding Soriano to the lineup. When we get a team owner, that'll help, too. |
I told Frank I want to play a lot more. I want to see how my body reacts after three days and we go from there. |
I understand everything Soriano is saying. I would probably try to work it out. That's a team decision. I hope that both of us can be in the lineup at the same time. That would be great, because adding Soriano to the team is very good. I'm waiting for the team to make the right decision. Some way, somehow, we have to get this working. I'm happy that both of us are here. |
I want it to be over with and just clear my head, |
I was ready to play but I wanted to make sure my conditioning was OK. My concern was running around the bases. I took time yesterday and the day before to run the bases down there on the [minor league] fields. |
I was thinking, 'Man, I gotta get a hit,' ... But I was also thinking ? 'If I go down, at least I go down against a good pitcher.' |
I will be playing close to every day from tomorrow on. Everything feels fine. I will run tomorrow, and I'm pretty excited to get going. |
I'd have to say, easily, it's been my worst year, |
I'm a second baseman - where should I play? What's going on here is not my problem. It's not his problem. It's the team's problem. |
I'm going to have to make a decision in a couple of days, ... The doctor suggests I need to clean my knee again, to do another surgery. |
