I'd like to play every day, but that's not going to happen. Last week, at the end of spring training, (Macha) told me that I'd probably get a third day off here and there, but with Bobby (Crosby) hurt, and the Yankees in town, I wanted to be in the lineup.
I'm not going to kill anyone with my speed, anyway. But if I can go first to third and score from second, that's the main thing.
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.
I grew up in the Boys & Girls Club. That's where I really started playing all sports, and that's why I'm a big advocate for the work they do.
I don't feel behind compared to any time in my career. My first month is always slow until I start playing back-to-back games and stuff. Once I'm at 100 at-bats, everything will be clicking.
