I don't judge those things. I have to concentrate on baseball.
I don't judge them. I have to concentrate on baseball. I leave that up to you guys to make those statements in the paper.
I don't even know the guy. Tell him he's an idiot. Somebody said he wanted a piece of me. Tell him I'm at 24 Willie Mays Plaza and he can come get me anytime he wants to -- with pleasure. Don't insult my family.
Right now, I'm just trying to keep my mind clear, that's it.
Right now, I'm just trying to get back on the field. I don't care about this whole record thing. I just care about doing the best job that I can. It's hard, man, when baseball is all I've ever known and all I've ever done, to hit the switch and dim the lights a little bit.
Right now, I'm just day-to-day, trying to get through the rest of the season,
My life is in shambles. It is crazy.
No. I don't have to. I mean I'm a good enough ballplayer as it is.
There are other issues a lot more serious, and you guys (the media) should direct your attention toward taking care of that, ... Ask yourselves how much you've donated to Katrina (relief). Everybody should be pointing the fingers at themselves.
Luckily, I'm still playing. Thank God I'm still out there.
I'm an adult. I don't have to react to anything if I choose not.
I have so much on my shoulders, so much weight on my back. Constantly climbing that hill is getting a lot harder and harder by the day. But I'm going to climb it, no matter what.
I have a .300 average. It's fun right now. We're playing good, our team is good, everybody's happy right now. It's just a good feeling all the way around right now.
I felt I didn't want to let the city down. That's the feeling that you have out there, the appreciation of the standing ovation and the cheers, and praying you don't let them (fans) down. You want to put on a good performance for them and bring that whole atmosphere back here in San Francisco, and get everybody excited.
