I feel better than yesterday. I have a little bit of a bruise. It's good to see the bruise coming out. That means it's healing.

I feel 60%. It's not enough for me to get out there and play. I can run, but not full speed.

I feel I haven't done a thing yet, and look where we are, ... I hope I can now be the player everyone expected to see.
favorite gentleman guy kid looked opportunity popular puerto since team
He's one of my favorite players. Since I was a kid I always looked up to him. Now having the opportunity to play with him on the same team is a dream. He's a gentleman and has always been a very popular guy in Puerto Rico.

I'm doing everything possible, and everything right. It's just a matter of time.

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.

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?
