I don't think it gets any bigger than that, to face Clemens in the first inning of the World Series, |
I don't think you know what kind of bounce you're going to get off the wall, ... You've got some dead spots in it, some iron poles. I don't think you can really commit one way or the other. You have to be prepared for the ball to die and be prepared for it to take a weird carom. |

I don’t have words to describe what’s going on here, |
I feel really comfortable at the plate, and more important, the shoulder is feeling very comfortable. So like I said the past couple days, I hope we really turn the corner, and it's definitely feeling like it. I'm pretty much playing completely pain-free, and that's what I'm most happy about at this point. |
I got a good pitch to hit and I drove it out, |
I have to keep running. If I'm not 100 percent, I still have to get out there and go, |
I kind of asked the guy a crazy question, |
I know no one was expecting that homer to come off my bat. We'll continue talking about it and I enjoy talking about it and it's one of the biggest hits of my life. Just one of those things. |
I really have no confidence out there. I'm getting bad jumps. It's hard to steal with a lack of strength. Straight-ahead running is no problem, but running from a dead stop, I'm having problems. It's a matter of getting in the weight room and getting more strength. |
I really haven't found my rhythm out there. It's a matter of continuing to (get on base) and if I steal some bases, that will give me some confidence and get back on track. |
I recall standing out in left field after Paul did what he did, thinking about, man, what does that man feel like now? ... So to go out and hit one out of the ballpark for a game-winner is pretty indescribable. |
I think I can get more accomplished staying back here, being able to hit every inning and get more game-time at-bats rather than going to Atlanta. |
I think we all needed the second look to find out exactly what's going on in there. We will see how it feels the next few days and try to start increasing my activity. |
I thought it would be fun. I heard Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow was going to be hosting the show. I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet him for the first time. It was tons of fun. |
