I try not to put a whole lot of weight into one play or one game or one pitch for any of us, ... You have to play a string of consistent baseball if you want to make the playoffs. We haven't been able to do that yet. We're pushing hard. |
I was a terrible hitter in Little League, I was OK in college. ... [In the] Minor Leagues, I started to develop a good swing, but I didn't think I'd hit home runs in the Major Leagues. It's still something that I'm just rolling with and not thinking about. |
I'm very happy with the direction the team is going and I'm looking forward to finishing my career in a Dodger uniform. This is a great way to close out my career in front of my parents and I'm pretty proud that we were able to get this done. |
I'm willing to dedicate myself for another couple of years. It's safe to say I'm proud to be able to retire a Dodger. I'm 99.9 percent sure this is the last contract of my career. |
I've been to the World Series, and to play for that opportunity, these individual things don't matter to me. These are the things that I do to try to get to where I want to be, and that's a world champion. |
I've been wracking my brain, pulling my hair out thinking about it. I've been talking to people in the game and my family, most importantly. I've been talking with my boys. It came to a head last night. |
If you're going to accept the good times, you have to accept the bad times. This team is good enough to get through this. We'll be all right. I've played many years and I've been through this many times. These things happen. |
It hurts. I think guys were disappointed in themselves, a little embarrassed. |
It's not about the money. I've got enough money. My last four or five years, all I've wanted was to be part of a winner. |
Last year we started 12-2, and you guys had us going to the World Series already. Now we're 4-4 and you have concerns. I'm kind of perplexed. |
That was a fantastic at-bat. That's what you try to do - I've seen him do that before. |
That was incredible, ... I'd quit just to come race with you guys every weekend. I've raced a motorcycle, and that was unbelievable. I love motorcycles, but this is amazing. These guys are incredible. When I got in the car, I couldn't really fit. They wanted me to get back more, and I couldn't get my shoulders back, but around the second turn, I was back in the headrest. That was amazing. I don't know how these guys can do 500 miles, 240 miles an hour, in and out of traffic, wheel-to-wheel and against the walls in front of 400,000 people. It blows my mind. |

That's not an excuse. Me and Barry fought all the time and we went to the World Series. |
That's not an excuse. Me and Barry fought all the time and we went to the World Series. Just because we can't all always get along doesn't mean we shouldn't win. It still shouldn't have affected the way we played. |
