I just feel like I want to go back to San Francisco and be with these guys, ... I'm ready to go home.
Call it age, knee, everything, anything you want to call it.
But who knows? My knee may be like this for the rest of my life, ... I have to give it an honest effort. I have to give it a shot ... to say I did what I did to try to get it back to normal. And if it doesn't go back to normal then that's just the way the knee is.
It's nice to win, ... I still feel like I'm in the spring training mode. Sometimes I feel really good. Sometimes I feel off balance. Those are things you go through in spring training. I'm trying to put it together in such a short window of time.
So far, so good. I hate to say anything just in case somewhere down the road something happens, but at this stage and the way I feel, I'll play, definitely.
That's a great compliment if that's the case, ... These guys are good. Everybody's playing well. You just can't take two days and two games right now and start riding the white pony. You've got continue on. If we're going to make a run at this, we've got to continue winning. There's no looking back.
The last at-bat, I was pretty burned out, ... I have a short period of time to help as much as I can. Hopefully, it doesn't hurt the team. They've been there all year. I'm having to make fast, fast, fast adjustments.
I just put it off the field so no one would get hurt.
I just prayed, brother. That's it. I thought, 'Why me?'
I just pointed to him just to show him I've got more to my game than just swinging.
I'll take a 2-for-the-rest-of-the-season as long as we win the World Series. I have not swung the bat well in the past and the team has won games. There are times you're going to be a big part of it and times you're not going to be part of it. ... It's just fun to win. I'll be fine.
I'll never tell my wife to hurry up any more. Because it took me forever to get ready.
I'll do anything Felipe wants me to do, ... I have to do what's best for the team.
I have to put everything in my first at-bat, all my energy.
