San Francisco is my home. That's the love of my life right there. Thinking that there could be a possibility, just hypothetically, to go somewhere else and DH or something like that, I really don't want to think about that at this time right now.
When I finish playing, I think I'd like to coach college baseball
I think of myself as 'catching' the ball with my bat and letting the pitcher supply the power.
I don't know if the record is going to happen. I don't really think about the record. There are other things I worry about.
I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.
I'm not thinking about the games yet. I want to be there with the guys. I can't wait to get home, to see the fans in San Francisco. I love the ballpark, the city, the fans. I feel I will play this season, but I don't know when.
I'm just as nervous as anybody, thinking about, 'Am I going to be able to make it the whole game?
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.
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.
During the past 15 days, my knee has been feeling great. I was out on the track doing sprints, agility movements, throwing and exercises to help increase my stamina. Even with some fluid remaining, my knee has been handling the pressure and I've been able to work through it. My workouts continue to be positive and I feel that I'm getting closer to my goal of joining my teammates this season.
