It's one of those fluke things, and the doctor told me I fought off a heart attack for 27 hours, ... Considering everything, it's an honor to be here. |
It's the first time I saw him. He's working on stuff. We're all working on stuff. He's looking fine. |
It's what I'm supposed to do, right? ... You hit in the middle of the lineup, you're supposed to hit home runs. That's what they're paying me to do. That's what I'm supposed to do. |
Like I always tell people, I'm a baseball player, it's what I do, |
Oh yeah. Definitely wouldn't have hurt, that's for sure. |
That was an incredible outing by Doug Waechter. |
That's baseball. The two 'L's, leather and lumber, you've got to do them both, and today all nine of us did, ... You can win a ballgame so many different ways. |

That's been pretty much my whole career coming up, ... [I'm used to] being behind some of the higher-ranked guys. But I just play to play. I never played to get moved up. I just played to help the team win and put good numbers up for myself. But I never worried about off-the-field stuff. I never got caught up in it. I never read the papers. I never read my articles. I just play to help the club win and put numbers up myself. |
The doctor didn't say I might have died, he said I would have died, |
The role we fell into is spoilers. We want to be on other side of that. It's not like we're playing for nothing. A win or loss on our record can affect other teams and races. |
This club definitely needed something to get going. I'm not taking credit for it at all, but we've found something. |
We were fish-tailing in the dead grass, ... A telephone pole hit right on his door. He was in the back right. I was on back left. |
We're not going to lay down until the last out of the game. That's why this team is going to be successful. |
We're on a tear right now. We're really starting to gel as a club. We've (won) consistently enough since the All-Star break to show it's not a fluke. |
