I'm just looking forward again to having my name called playing left field and seeing that little kid in the stands. Those are the visions that I see. I haven't got to the game part yet, how my emotions are going to feel. Am I going to be nervous or jittery? Guys are playing really good. I don't want to mess it up.
I'll be there. I'll be on the field and in the lineup on Opening Day. I think that's fair to say. Based on the way my right knee is feeling right now, I'll be ready.
I just put it off the field so no one would get hurt.
I'm BACK, ... and I'll see you on Monday when I take the field with my team.
When I hit it, I couldn't believe I hit it. Everything was in slow motion. It looked like it was stopped in midair. Then I saw it went past those people (on the left field wall) and I thought, 'Wow! I did it!'
I don't think you're going to see me out there this year, ... That's the reality of the situation. I'm improving. I'm happy with the progress. I'm working out hard on the exercise bike and the elliptical machine, but I'm just not there yet. The last thing I want is to get back on the field and be out again a week later.
I never chased Hank to begin with. I just want to win championships. That's all I want to do. That's the only thing I'm playing for, the only thing that's keeping me going.
I'm very anxious to get on the field,
I just want to win a championship. I'm playing to win a championship. That's the only thing that keeps me going. ... The only thing keeping me in the game of baseball right now is trying to win a championship for the team, trying to win a championship with a bunch of guys.
I'm just waiting on the doctors, ... I'll see what they say.
It's standing around that's hard. It's just the waiting. When I'm running around, I'm loose.
(Eckstein's) one of my favorite players ever, ... I told him that he's a gift from God.
Everyone has their time and era, ... In all sports.
Everybody wants to get to the playoffs. You can just see it in the dugout that everybody wanted to win. If you get behind, sometimes you can just give up. No one gave up. Our pitching did a great job.
