body chance guys injury season taking
My season is when I get paid. I'm not sacrificing my body or taking a chance on injury for something that is made up. A lot of guys feel that way. They won't say it, but I will.
ball blow past slammed tried wall
I got whiplash. I didn't even know the wall was there. I tried to blow past the ball and I slammed into the wall.
hard stress worker
Catchers, they know everything that's going on, on the field. He's a pretty enthusiastic kind of guy. He's a hard worker and I think with young players, you've got to stress the fundamentals and hard work.
came fighting imagine positive situation somebody work
Imagine if you came to work and you wanted to be positive, and somebody made a positive situation negative. I don't want to be negative. I've been fighting for 17 years, always negative. Why can't I have something positive done?
purpose
So I think he did it on purpose,
coming finish game last oh plenty wait
Oh yeah, we got plenty of incentive. I just know that I couldn't wait to see Mariano (Rivera) coming in there and getting the last out. We didn't get that last year. But now we've got one more game to play to finish off this story.
capable run
Now, we just have to run the table. And we're capable of doing that.

Right now, I'm just shocked by it all, the way that it ended. This is weird all the way around. But that's the way it goes. It just got away from us.
close everyday games playing worse
When you're an everyday player, not playing is very hard. It's worse when the games are close because you can't do anything about it.
capable continue playing
We're playing like we are capable of playing. If we can continue to play like this we'll be fine.
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.
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.
