I'm a little surprised I'm swinging this good after missing so much time, |
I'm always here for Venezuela and it is a great honor to play for my country. This is the country that gave me life. It's where I grew up. I'm going to do all I can so we can win. |
I'm excited, he's excited that we're going to play be together again. We played in Oakland for almost five years. He's like, 'You're going to like it. Great people, great teammates, great organization. |
I've got to do that with all of them -- starters, relievers, closer. I try to know the most I can to help them be successful. The more successful they are, the more ballgames we'll win. |
If he keeps playing how he's playing he can go as far as he wants. He can easily go pro. ...He's one of those kids who you tell what to do and he'll do it. |
If I had to meet the whole team in two days, I would try to do that. I'm trying to meet everybody. I'm trying to be friendly with everybody before I leave. |
It doesn't matter who we play now, ... we got the confidence. I think this woke our team up, to flip a game like that. |
It makes me proud (of) all the work I did to come back sooner. I've been out three months. ... But I don't think it's going to be that hard to get back to playing the way I used to. |
It was a great honor winning the series, but doing it in our house makes it very special because of our fans. They deserve it after waiting for a title since 1989. |
It was an unbelievable feeling, especially at this time of the year. It makes you feel good that you're helping your team win ballgames. |
It was hard to leave. I'm on a new team, and I know they didn't want me to leave. They want me to stay so I can work with the pitchers. But I've played the game a lot of years. I've been with more than one team. I was with Oakland and then San Diego and now here. So I have an idea how to learn new pitchers. Hopefully, it won't take me that long. |
It was unbelievable, especially coming this time of the year. |
Rudy has a great slider and changeup to go with that fastball, ... He did a great job pitching to Bonds. Any time you strike that guy out, you've done something. |

There are a lot of games left. You're going to get hot, and you're going to get cold. |
