hard hopefully turn
It's not the end of the world. We'll play as hard as we did tonight, and hopefully things will turn around for us.
man society
It's unfortunate, but that's how society is today. They want to see the big man fall.
guys ready turn
I've done everything I can do to be ready for it. Physically, I just don't think it's there. A lot of guys can turn it up. I can't.
everybody great horrific people sound stories talk wants
Everybody wants to do these great stories about things that sound interesting, that could be really horrific to other people (who) really don't want to talk about (it). That's not something they think about a lot.
Everybody's got soreness. Don't make no (stuff) up.
family stories
It's just one of those stories where, to me, family comes first.
atmosphere fun type
It was fun to have that atmosphere and type of enthusiasm.
family spring suitcase training
I want to be comfortable and not live out of a suitcase for the whole Spring Training and having my family doing the same.
rather season three week
I want to be there. But if this does flare up or something, I'd much rather be out the first week of the season than be out two, three times during the season.
fun game latin spring stuff training
I tuned that all out. Obviously, there was a lot of stuff going on. But it was just a spring training game to me. It was fun for the Latin crowd.
gotta
It's in there. We just gotta get it out before it's too late.
ball led roads seemed
It seemed like all roads kind of led to New York. I think it was always the Mets' ball to lose.
best bullpen chance knock
I told him, 'How's it feel to be a part of the best bullpen in baseball? I know he was upset, that's what he wanted to do. But hey, you've got a chance to make us 10 times better and you've got a chance to be a part of something special. It's not a knock to go to the bullpen anymore.
country honor playing represent talent united
It's a real honor to go there and represent your country. For me personally, I want to go out there and show that my country is the best. With the talent we have in the United States, it's going to be like playing in the Olympics.
