There is no doubt in my mind I've played a great shortstop this year. |
There seems to be excitement building around the whole thing, especially in Venezuela because they just got the Caribbean Series title, which they hadn't won in 16 years. So everybody is talking about baseball, baseball, baseball, 24 hours a day. |
There wasn't anybody out there telling you not to do that. |
There's always one guy to jump up first. |
They told me I didn't pass the test on my knee. It was kind of a shock. I was really looking forward to coming back and playing for the Mariners. |
Today it was kind of bad. |
We really didn't have the team I was expecting to have, ... I'm kind of skeptical about what's going to happen next year. This year we had problems getting healthy people. Next year is not going to be any easier. We're still getting older and older. It's not like we're getting younger. Hopefully guys learn from how their bodies react and try to take care of themselves. |
We're going to have to win at least 85 percent of our games for us to get there. But at least it's nice to know that we're playing for something, that we still have a possibility to get there. I don't think we should lose hope. I think we should stay focused, give it the best shot we've got and see where we stand two weeks from now. |
We're still fighting for something and when he comes back it will be even better, ... I don't know what type of shape he's in, but personally it will be great. I've never played in the National League and I'm looking forward to playing with him. |
Wherever he goes, he's probably going to create a lot of controversy. That's why he's one of the greatest. |
