I'm sure I'll get a few phone calls before the day's over, |
I've always been aware of what I eat. There are a lot of options and you have to choose carefully. |
I've been asked, 'What are you going to do next year?' I don't know. I know that when the season's over, I'll talk to my wife and I'll talk to my kids and see where they're at. I owe it to them to make them a huge part of the decision. |
I've had really good ones and a really bad one. I've been on both ends of it. |
I've never denied it was tough to leave Atlanta. It's interesting to me, for someone who's been so tightlipped, that I'm the only player he's even talked about. To me, that says there is something that needs to be explained. |
If he's in the lineup and he's in a key situation, I would assume you're going to see the four fingers. You're still not going to let him beat you, I don't care how slow a start he's off to. |
If I have to make the team on my vertical jump, my long jump or my running ability, I don't like my chances. I don't plan, unless my arm falls off, on getting this close to 300 wins and then shutting it down. |
If I'm healthy and pitch the way I'm capable of, I can't see why I can't do 15 (wins). If we're going to win, everybody has to play to their expectations and the expectations are to win more games when I'm on the mound. |
If there was ever a time I would love to be going to the playoffs, it's right now the way I'm pitching. |
If there was ever any ... question about what kind of player he was going to be, it was on the offensive side of the ball. There was always a feeling that offensively, he was capable of putting up monster numbers. |
If we're going to try and attract people this winter to come here and play, you certainly want to give them an indication that you're moving in the right direction. And we're certainly doing that. |
If we're not going to get into the playoffs, ... you certainly have to get to the point where you go down fighting. |
If you evaluate our team, we've certainly assembled the talent to win. Looking at some of the teams I was on in Atlanta, I can't say those teams had more talent than this team overall. Some areas are stronger than others. But the thing we always had over there was that we just expected to win. |
In 1994 there was virtually no chance we were going to reach an agreement without a work stoppage, ... They were talking about a salary cap and we weren't. In this negotiating we've been talking about virtually the same thing. It's sometimes a difference in philosophy on how to reach certain goals. |
In the years I've been here, sure. We haven't had a team that's been this good. ... We've certainly gone out so far and shown that we're a good team. |
