A couple weeks ago I didn't think I'd be able to play for the rest of the year. Whatever Willie feels is best for the team, I'll be 1,000 percent supportive. |
Even though I'm not gay, I think Clemens is such a brute that he deserves this legal action. He brought it on himself by being so butch on the mound. Being straight, and not gay at all, I hold hope that he can turn himself around and take his place in the beautiful rainbow that is Major League Baseball. |
Everyone is assuming that I'm not going to be here next year, but I've never said anything either way. I'm just going to finish as strong as I can and see what the options are. |

I compare it to a new car, ... When you get a new car, the power windows go up quick - it's quicker and you get more response. And then when it gets older, little things start to break. Things fall off. Our bodies are machines. You have to be pragmatic. You have to be realistic. |
