good
It's good to be back. I've been a little sore, but I was fine.
expect gonna hard playing
It's part of playing in New York. Sometimes as a player, you expect that from the other team, but from your own fans, it's sometimes hard to take. But what you gonna do about it?
family interested joining mets
I told him I'm interested in him joining the Mets family.
decided felt good willie
It's the same thing I felt in New York. I decided to tell Willie I wasn't going to be able to make it. It's tough. I felt good at the plate, but I want to be 100 percent.
ballpark feels game great mean
It just feels great to come out to the ballpark and have every game mean something.
happened
This is what happened when I come to New York,
forward step time took
I took a step back and when it was time for me to come forward - too late.
believe next year
It wasn't the year that I was expecting, but I do believe that next year will be different.
field happen single sooner thinking win
It was going to happen sooner or later. We take the field every single day thinking we're going to be able to win, but we're not going to win them all.
capable difficult fans forward last looking season showing year
It was a very difficult year. Last year is in the past. This year, I'm looking forward to a new season and showing the fans and everyone what I'm capable of doing.
change continue
It's about winning. If I do that and we win, then I will continue to do that. If I do that and we don't win, then I'll change. What I did today, if it would have been the season, I would have done the same thing. I wouldn't change anything.
team winning goal
My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.
baseball numbers league
Major League Baseball should retire Roberto Clemente's number, just like they did Jackie Robinson's.
crazy player half
It's going to be crazy. I'm guessing when we play against the Dominicans, half the field will be Dominican fans and half will be Puerto Rican fans. With all the big-time players in the World Classic, it's going to be huge.
