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 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.
You don't need a special talent. You just need to be a good listener. It is so simple and can make a big difference in a child's life.
I put a lot of stress on the front foot when I hit. If I'm healthy, you're going to have a special player.
I send him a list of the cards I need.
I see the same exact type of team. Great closer. Great starting pitching every night. Great core of hitters. Can score runs every night.
Everything is working out well right now. I just can't do what I used to do. I'm not going to run just to be running. I'm not going to continue to pound the thing in and let it flare up. I'll do what's necessary.
I've always said great things about the fans. I love the fans. They did a lot for me over a 16-year period. They gave me a lot of love and respect and that's never going to change.
That would be a tremendous career achievement. If batter does that, he enters one of the elite groups of baseball.
Like I've always said, it's all about timing. I'm ready now. I feel comfortable. It's close. It was good to see a little more movement on the ball.
It feels real good to do what I do. That's why I was happy in there. I'm very encouraged.
I think he's become a better pitcher. He really concentrates on spots more than just blowing you away.
You know, it was a heated discussion. Lasted for a while. But, I think everything that needs to be said was said.
I was shocked. It wouldn't have been about money with me this year. It would have been about closure in Chicago. ... They brought in Jim Thome, and he was more injured than I was last year.
