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.
There's no doubt in my mind that I can still play the game at a high level. I have a short period of time to try to help as much as I can, and hopefully it doesn't hurt the team.
I thought I would be a lot more sore, thought I'd have a lot harder time than I have. I'm pleased, because I'm not really that sore.
It's not unrealistic, but now it's just the time of how I recover.
That's the first time somebody threw something like that.
Everyone has their time and era, ... In all sports.
I don't ever remember having any bad times here in Pittsburgh.
This division is a little ... different. It's the first time I've seen this in the history of baseball.
This division is a little . . . different. It's the first time I've seen this in the history of baseball. But you can't take two games and start riding a white pony. You've got to keep winning games, don't look back.
The last at-bat, I was pretty burned out, ... I have a short period of time to help as much as I can. Hopefully, it doesn't hurt the team. They've been there all year. I'm having to make fast, fast, fast adjustments.
I have no doubt in my mind my playing ability, ... I can still play the game at a high level. I just have a short period of time and hopefully it doesn't hurt the team. That's the one thing that goes in the back of my mind. They've been there all year. Their timing is a little bit better than mine. I'm having to make fast adjustments for 20 baseball games.
The fast ones I'm able to see. The slower ones I'm missing. He challenged me one time too many.
I just want to get in the best shape I can, and be able to go out there and help this team win a division, ... We've still got time and I think we've still got a chance, and I want to do it. I want to be a part of it. Even if it's a short amount of time, I want to be a part of it.
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.
