[Eddings] said, 'Keep doing what you're doing.' I threw a couple up and in on people, and I said, 'I need that,' |
[Josh Beckett is baffled by his recurring blister problem, which has put him on the DL for the fifth time in his young career.] I don't know what I'm going to do, ... Play third base, maybe. |
Alex Gonzalez could have won the Gold Glove in the National League the last three years. |
Any time you put pressure on the defense, that's good. You get a throwing error, the guy can end up with a triple, and then a fly ball gets him home. |
Coming from Florida, opening day is sometimes the only day you have like that. |
Either one of those guys can easily tie the game or put them ahead. You're happy with however you get them out. |
Everybody has new jokes. It's a fun time. I don't really know how to explain it. You get to play baseball for a living and get paid very well and you get to have a life. During the season you don't have a life because baseball is all day long. Here it's at the beginning of the day and then I can go play golf every day. |
Fifty percent of me says they'll keep mostly everybody here and 50 percent says they won't. I know the stadium is a big issue. Jeffrey wants to win more than anybody I've ever met, but at what price? I mean, how long can you afford to keep doing this? There are no prospects of getting us a stadium. We've won two world championships and we can't get one. It's crazy. |
He can't even give me a week to enjoy my home run. He has to hit to a shot in the upper deck. He sure can steal the show, can't he? |
He didn't bother me much. |
He does that after Carlos hits a home run. I'll just say this: You've got to be a little more careful in those situations. You reap what you sow. |
He threw probably 100 fastballs, ... and I don't think he made a mistake with one of them. |
He was here for so long, it's a shame this is how it has to end. Obviously something was really bugging him. |
He's a professional, and he doesn't deserve that. |
He's Barry Bonds. There's nothing else you can really say. |
