I may still fly home for it. That's my baby. She's so much like me. She's strong.

I still have the same urge. But I try to understand a little more now. I still have the same desire to be out there. With the medical staff knowing me, it's still an ongoing communication. But it's tough. I hate not playing. I hate it. I'm definitely doing everything I can to get back just as soon as I can.

I think it would help.

I think overall in the situation we're in, it's probably the smartest thing to do. If it were the playoffs and we had a chance, then we'd be doing something different. But we're not, and it's time that I can get my hamstring closed up for good and my knee fixed.

If I can't do it myself, then I'm not going to do it. When I'm retired, I want them to at least be able to say, 'There's no question in our minds that he did it the right way.' I have kids. I don't want them to think their dad's a cheater.

If we can swing the bat and be particular about what pitches to swing at, and be patient and stuff like that, I think we can put some pressure on some people. You look at the numbers these guys put over through the course of the year, there's no easy out in there. That makes it tough on everybody.

It didn't really bother me. It just tightened up a little bit. That was it.

It goes way beyond the doctor-patient privilege with him. He really cares about you. I got to know who he was when I was in high school and my dad trusted the family. I remember two years ago in Cincinnati, I was home alone and was running a fever of 105 around midnight. I called him and he and his wife (Hilary) came over to the house and sat with me for a couple of hours.
