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.
As it is every season, my main goal and main focus is for our team to win a championship. I need to be in the best physical shape for the 2006 season -- in what could possibly be my last season.
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.
We've got a winning record, so it's not a big deal. There are times you're going to be a part of it and times you're not going to be a part of it.
We've got a winning record, so it doesn't matter.
When you've got the excitement I've created -- my home runs are a lottery ticket -- then you've got a city that's excited, ... If you win, you're going to create excitement, but you've got to win games. You can't not win and expect people to come to baseball games.
As an athlete, you only have so much time. The window only has so much time and then it closes. You have to take care of yourself the best you can.
They're winning their division, ... There's no need ... there's really no need.
As long as it goes over the yellow line, it doesn't matter. We've got to keep winning -- we're chasing (San Diego).
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.
Guess My Weight and Win a Sawdust-Filled Bear.
It's nice to win, ... I still feel like I'm in the spring training mode. Sometimes I feel really good. Sometimes I feel off balance. Those are things you go through in spring training. I'm trying to put it together in such a short window of time.
I'll take a 2-for-the-rest-of-the-season as long as we win the World Series. I have not swung the bat well in the past and the team has won games. There are times you're going to be a big part of it and times you're not going to be part of it. ... It's just fun to win. I'll be fine.
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.
