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.
Especially off Billy, it's crazy. I haven't hit a ball like that off him ever. Ever. ... It was a big boost for us because it tied the game. They came back and beat us. It shows what kind of team they are. We played good against them. Right now, they're probably one of the best teams on the East.
I have been playing catch and in the next few weeks I hope to be in the cage doing some hitting. There is a good possibility I could be back in September with the team but if not I will definitely be in the 2006 line-up.
No. I don't have to. I mean I'm a good enough ballplayer as it is.
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.
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 feel good that we won because we always have bad times here in Colorado. They always seem to come back and beat us. I'm just glad we won, that's it.
I feel good, I was hitting the ball good in batting practice.
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.
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.
It's good when you win. It just makes it a little more gratifying, that's all it does, ... I can hit a baseball. I've never had any problems doing that. I'm trying to do it when we win games.
I know when I'm off alignment. I know when my body is out of adjustment. If your body is there, then mentally, you'll be there. If your body feels good, then your mind feels good and your are going to feel better about your game.
