family money point spent tried
I've tried (to help). I've put him in rehab. I've spent a lot of money to do that. I've been there for him. But it comes to a point where you've just got to let him go through what he's got to go through. The family has tried everything.
against allowed reality
I've really never got comfortable. I'm not comfortable. I'm not allowed to be comfortable. That's the reality of my situation. I always have to play with my back against the wall.
anyone care
I've never had an organization come to me and say, 'Eventually, we're going to take care of you. I've never had anyone say, 'I'm going to take care of you.' Why shouldn't I be happy? That's a first for me in 17 years.
trust
Even if it's on paper, it's still in my hands. Trust me on that. I know how to get out of anything I want to get out of. Trust me.
everybody good guys knows pitching stops
Everybody knows good pitching stops good hitting. Our guys are pitching great.
basically believe comment somebody tells version
Do you believe everything somebody tells you? Basically you want me to comment on it. My version, I don't have one. What version do I need to have for you all to be satisfied?
certain expect hopefully overcome situation sure
You got to do the right thing, you've got to live a certain way and do the right things that's required. If you're not doing it, you can't expect to be working for somebody. So they did what they had to do, and his situation I'm sure got to him and hopefully he can overcome it.
quicker
That would be devastating to me. I should be able to come back quicker than if it was a hamstring. I'm going to get the anti-inflammatories and see how I feel tomorrow.
dealing found
That's the kind of person I found out I was dealing with, ... To me, I don't want friends like that. I never will have friends like that.
season start
It doesn't matter. I look at it like this, the start of the season I'll do what I've always done. That's it.
looks truth
I tell him the truth. I just tell him how it looks - how he looks: 'Dude, you look like an addict.' But he doesn't see it.
demon escape genuinely meant wants
I think he genuinely meant it. I think he really wants to do the right things to escape this demon that's got him.
arm bring catch energy fans motivate played sure uniform yankees
When it's done, that's the right time. When it happens, I'm sure it will catch me off-guard and I'll be happy. And if it doesn't happen, I'll have to do what I have to do. I just want to put on the uniform and do what I do. It's the fans that make me play the way I play. When I get the energy out of right field, especially in the Yankees uniform, those fans make me do what I do. I couldn't have played with one arm in Colorado. You can't motivate me enough to do that. Only the Yankees fans bring that out of me.
felt good last strong
It did help. I didn't have to think about defense. I felt good today. I felt strong in my last at-bat.
