It felt great to hear the fans cheer. It was an exciting day for everybody.
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.
I felt great, man, ... Just seeing everybody, all the fans out there, it was an incredible feeling, just incredible. There's no place like home, there really isn't.
I felt great. It felt good to be with the guys, being in San Francisco, hearing the fans. There's no place like home.
I felt good. I have sun. Every day I wake up it's sunny.
I feel way better than last year. I'll probably go through some issues wanting to play every day. I'd better do it soon to find out. I can score. I'm not going to steal. ... It felt great, man. Every day is a new day. I'll see how I feel.
Truthfully, I felt I didn't want to let the city down. That's the feeling you have out there. They came to see you play, and you really want to put on a good performance for them.
Truthfully, I felt I didn't want to let the city down,
It was nice. It felt good to hit the ball good today.
It's good to know my instincts haven't gone anywhere, ... With each swing I felt more and more comfortable in there. I'd have to admit that I was satisfied with the results.
They asked me how I felt and I said I felt fine. So they said we'll put you out there for three innings.
We talked about my knee and took a few X-rays. After looking at the X-rays, we decided it would be a good idea to drain the knee. This draining is to make sure there isn't any infection and that I'm healing properly. Overall everything looks positive.
I've played a long time. I've had a lot of fun doing it. We'll tackle that bridge when it happens. I'll sit back and talk with my family and take a long, long vacation and see how I feel. I could do that and get in the wintertime and say, ?That's enough,' and somewhere in January wake up and say, ?That's not enough.
I've been in L.A. for the most part in 90-degree weather, ... Coming up here to San Francisco and the cold ... I just want to see how I come out of it.
