And I take a lot of the blame for our record this year. And to come out and help this team win tonight is really a great feeling. |
Any loss is tough. Santana showed today why he's one of the best pitchers in baseball. |
As far as stuff goes, that's the best stuff we've seen all year. I think he's only given up one or two runs all year and he showed us why -- he was on top of his game tonight. |
Because of him, I've been able to do some really awesome things in the community. I try to do things that will put a smile on God's face. And whether it is through a church or a ministry or through RBI or Boys & Girls Clubs or a local elementary school, hopefully, I'll also put a smile on many kids' faces. |
Dr. Steve Joyce said it would take four to six weeks to heal, which kind of scared me at first, but the good news is I injured it about 4 1/2 weeks ago. |
He's a cross between Tom Seaver and Jeff Spicoli, ... Fast Times at Ridgemont High. |
He's definitely going to help our team -- when, I don't know, |
He's given us a wonderful platform so, with that, I want to use that to bring glory to God. My goal is that my legacy will be stronger off the field than on the field when I leave Kansas City, and leave this Earth. |
He's got the stuff to go out and win 17, 18 games, ... He's a lefty with a fastball 95-97, a 12-to-6 curve and a good change. |
He's probably the most positive human being I've ever met, |
Hopefully, the new uniforms will be a little more productive then the previous ones. I think maybe this is a symbol of a new start. We have new guys coming in. We have a new game plan the '06 season. Hopefully, the new uniforms will bring us more wins. |
I feel God has blessed us ballplayers with the ability to throw a ball, hit a ball, catch a ball and to play the game of baseball at a level that only a few can play in the world, |
I feel the process we're going through is taking too long, |
I got to play in his home country, in the stadium that was named after him and I know he was one of the best, if not the best, Latin American ballplayers of all time, |
I had a grand slam against him. Maybe I'll pinch-hit against him, maybe in the 18th? |
