After that at-bat, I was spent, ... I got a little bit tired by the fifth inning. Your adrenaline is going so hard and everybody's cheering for you out there. The team is playing well and you're so hyped up.
I owe it to the Giants organization, my teammates, and most of all to the fans of San Francisco to give 100 percent this season. I assure you, my decision was not an easy one, but based on my circumstances, I had to put my health and my team first. I wish Team USA the best of luck and even though I won't be in the dugout with them, I'll be definitely be cheering them on to bring our country a WBC title.
I only throw a stone if there's a stone thrown at me. As long as there's not a stone thrown at me, you won't get one thrown back.
I don't think I ever played a nine-inning game any year before. I never need to play a nine-inning game. I'm ready to play a nine-inning game now. You saw in the world classic guys are playing nine innings already. We're capable of playing nine innings. Do you want to? No, not in spring training when you can take advantage of the rest period.
I didn't speak to the media (there) because I didn't want it to be a distraction. It upsets me that a private conversation would end up published, misinterpreted possibly because of a language barrier and be taken entirely out of context.
Hopefully, I can just hang onto it as long as I can until the end of the season,
Got to get all the aches and pains out.
Go to the Empire State Building and jump off, commit suicide and people can say, 'Barry Bonds is finally dead.' Except for in San Francisco. I'll leave something for them.
I'd have to get a call to answer that question. I can't answer that right now. I welcome any phone call.
I can't tell you how many pain pills I am on or how many sleeping pills I'm taking. I don't have a choice. I can't even run that much anymore. How can I run. I don't have any cartilage in that knee. I'm bone on bone.
He told me, ... to get all I could get out of the game of baseball.
The fast ones I'm able to see. The slower ones I'm missing. He challenged me one time too many.
I'm in game mode. This is where I want to be. This is what I envisioned all those months I was working to get my knee back where it needed to be.
I'm not playing baseball anymore after this. The game (isn't) fun anymore.
