They're doing so well, I don't want to mess it up. I might just stay here (rehabilitating his knee in L.A.) for a while.

As long as guys around you keep swinging the bat good, they've got to come to you eventually. You've just got to be patient. ... That's how you win games. Everybody has to do it.
As long as it goes over the yellow line, it doesn't matter. We've got to keep winning -- we're chasing (San Diego).
As long as I'm healthy, I want to give it a try. It might not be here. But I'd hope the Giants would still want me. I'd like to finish my career in this shirt.
That's what my goal is right now and I expect to be ready, ... But the doctors are telling me playing this year might put that in jeopardy, that I could undo any gains I've already made. No matter how much I want to play, I'm not going to let that happen.
That's my plan, that's why I'm here, ... There's no doubt in my mind I can play the game at a high level.
You wanted me to jump off the bridge; I finally have jumped. You wanted to bring me down; you've finally brought me and my family down. You've finally done it. So now go pick a different person.

They are the exact wristbands I wore in 2004 and 2005. They're exactly the same. They can't come after me now if they didn't come after me in 2004.
You don't see me bringing anyone else into this. I'm going to take it myself. And I'm going to take it because there's so many people who depend on me.
You can't hurt me any more than you've already hurt me. I'm going to take it because there's so many people who depend on me.
As a fan, sure, you might be a little bit disappointed. I owe my teammates first, but, I will give you the common courtesy and respect of showing up.
Anyone who knows me knows I'm not jealous of anybody. I'm proud of what Mark McGwire did; I'm proud of what Sammy did. They lifted the game.
