bad box corner feeling step time took trying turn walk
I thought I would turn the corner when I didn't play. It wasn't feeling that bad when I'd walk up stairs, so I thought it was getting better. Once I took one step out of the batter's box trying for a double, I couldn't do it. I don't have time to be waiting.
anybody bottom care happy kindness plenty services sides teams test trust
I don't want anybody to take my kindness as a weakness. Like I said before, this is where I want to be, but don't test me. It never was a done deal. It was a possibility. I'm happy about that. But there's two sides to that. On one side, I trust you, but don't play me. I don't care who it is, if it's the Boss, if it's him, don't play me. There are plenty of other teams out there that want my services ... that's the bottom line.
games good hurt jeopardize missing sit tomorrow
I don't think it's that serious. If I feel good tomorrow and I feel like I'm not going to jeopardize missing games or hurt the team, I'll play. Otherwise, I'll sit down.
care game gone gotten healthy
I don't care how I feel. When they need me, I'll be there. There's no tomorrow; every game counts. If not, I probably would have gone on the DL, gotten it healthy and come back strong. Right now, I don't have that time.
care
I don't care what they do. I've said what I had to say about it. I'm done with it.
I can get through it, ... It's one of those that as long as I can walk, I'll be fine.
I am done doing that, ... I don't see it getting any better.
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.
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.
shocked weird
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.
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.
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.
