I thought it all went well. I was just trying to get the (bat) head out. In general I guess I did. I hit the ball on the barrel, which is good. It's coming. I just need to keep hitting. It takes awhile to get those muscles strong again.

I threw 20 balls and took about 15 swings on videotape and went and saw Dr. Andrews, who was a heck of a trouper for seeing me in his hospital bed after a heart attack. We had a good conversation. He examined me, and that's about the extent of it right now.

I'll be more than willing. Adrenaline will take a lot of pain out of my shoulder, ... But this is not about me, the sentimental choice and all that. ... You've got to put away the years that I've been here and what I've done. You've got to look at what's best for this team in this particular moment.

I'll do the same thing tomorrow as yesterday.

I'm happy for the city and for the fans, but you want to win it. I'm sure St. Louis isn't happy coming in second (in 2004). There's only one ring.

I'm just ready to go, ... Adrenaline is going to take over anyway, so I'll be fine.
|
I'm more of a cheerleader now, but I get to put on my spikes, ... It means a lot to me.
