I'm very impressed. I've been wanting to go over to Japan for a long time to play on the All-Star tour. Everybody tells me they usually kick our butts when we go over there. So major league-caliber baseball is played over in Japan, too.
It was kinda cool - a career highlight. I don't care if it is an exhibition game. To be able to run around the bases with USA across my chest and have ( Ken Griffey ) Junior and Brian Schneider waiting at home plate to slap high-fives. That was special.
Once again, everybody is picking someone else in our division. So we'll just kind of lay back in the weeds and take care of business.
If Huddy brings his 'A' game, he can shut anybody down.
If he comes in a game like that, you know it has to be important to him. He was going to try not to make any mistakes, and he didn't. He pitched great.
If he gets the opportunity to play, it might get interesting. He might be starting.
If he was trying to take me out, he did a poor job.
I can't thank Bobby Cox enough for what he's done for my career and this organization.
Honestly, I consider us lucky. We could very easily have been 1-6.
I don't think there's any doubt (he's one of the best pitchers in the league). I would put him right up there. There are guys in this league you have to work your tail off to put the ball in play against them. Pedro is one of those guys.
I don't think there's any doubt everybody is looking at us and gunning for us. Baseball is our national pastime. It's always been perceived that Americans play the best baseball.
I don't see any reason why he can't do it again. Now, to ask him to hit 51 homers again is probably a little too much to ask. But I certainly think he can throw up 40 homers every year.
I don't see any reason why he can't do it again.
I don't think they're going to let me go out there unless I wear it.
