When you're going into a game, you're not expected to hit a home run every game. You're just doing everything proper with proper swings.
Doing something the right way is something I take pride in.
Fifteen years now. I think of all the great teams we've had, and if we'd had this pitching, you never know how many rings we'd have won. But I'm just happy to be around and be a part of this.
I've got nothing to say about the White Sox. Frank has left the building.
It's been a slow start, but it's only 17 games.
It was a strange year. It happens to one team each year, where everything goes your way. It was a good team last year, but we had a lot of things go our way. We had so many one-run victories. In years before, we always lost those games, or we'd lose half those games.
It was good to go back and forth, seeing a lot of pitches. After the second at-bat everything felt normal.
Swish is a real good kid and he likes to have fun. He has a pleasant attitude and he's just a refreshing piece of energy. I tell him, 'Don't think, just react, and let your talent take over.
It's always special to see that. It doesn't happen very often. I've been in the middle before but not on successive pitches.
It's a good moment, but not in the middle of a four-game losing streak. I missed a lot of baseball the last two years. Thank God I'm back playing.
I totally forgot but that's a good sign. I could go a couple more days (in the minor league camp) and then not be afraid to do it. I'm not experiencing any pain, only a little soreness from running.
It's a little empty. I fought so hard my whole career to get here, and the year I'm not able to play we're here. I'm just really happy for the team, though. This is a special moment in the game and you can always cherish this moment because you never know when it's going to happen again.
There are no hard feelings with my teammates over there. They're friends and family forever. That won't change.
We're finished talking. There's nothing else to talk about. As for love lost, basically there was not much love there the last five years. We'll just move forward.
