There's some things I got to prove to myself first. I take a lot of pride playing on the field. If I could still go out there and help the team, then that's what I'm going to do. If I can't do that anymore, then I'll say goodbye.
The only person I can measure myself against is myself. It's all up to me to do my job and prove that I'm doing it at the ability that I feel that I should be doing it, contributing to the ball club.
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.
It was heartwarming, wonderful. It's our crowd. It's our town. These are our people. It made me feel great.
Nothing to say. I'd have to get a call to answer that question.
After that at-bat I was spent, ... I got a little tired by like the fifth inning. Your adrenaline is going so hard. I knew that was going to happen. I hung in there as long as I could.
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.
