happen ready
I've had this happen before. I'll give it one day and be ready to go (today).
front home leg runs transfer weight
Not even close, ... Once I can transfer my weight to my front leg and just do it with a lot of force, and I don't even think about it, the home runs will come.
everybody playing
I want everybody to be on an even playing field.
came depression disturbed drove hurt imagine looking looks lost reason saw womb
That hurt me - that's what drove me into depression where I didn't care. Once I saw my grandmother and him, I lost all of what I had in me. I said, 'He's the reason she looks like that.' I'm still not out of it. I get real disturbed at night. Imagine this person you came out of the womb looking up to. It's just tough, man.
rabbits run scoring series time watching worn
Every time you look up, they're scoring a run. They do all the little things. After a series with them, you're all worn out from watching those rabbits run around the bases.
appreciate bring brought earn free nobody option pick pride remains teams whatever
They brought me in and told me they were probably going to pick the option up. You always want to earn whatever you get. I take a lot pride in that. He didn't have to bring me in today. I appreciate that. When I was a free agent, a lot of teams called and I really didn't answer. There was only one place, and that still remains the same. I don't want to play for nobody else but the Yankees.
bad brought dodgers greedy happened played sign
They brought it up in the beginning. This is how it happened in L.A. (where he played with the Dodgers from 1998-2002). They wanted to sign me to an extension; I didn't go to them. But when I didn't want to go through with it, I'm the bad guy, the greedy guy.
game proves reacting represent wrong
That just proves I wasn't in the wrong, and that's what this is all about. Yeah, you try to represent the game the right way, but then being told you're in the wrong for reacting to something you didn't start, that's kind of disturbing. That just makes me feel like it's a hypocritical society.
stiff
It's still stiff and still sore. It's the same as yesterday. I'm day to day.
initiate mean moved situation
What did I do to be a villain? ... Well, I mean you can't look at it that way. I didn't initiate it. It's a situation where I showed restraint, and I moved on from there.
You can't be sensitive, ... and play baseball.
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?
everybody good guys knows pitching stops
Everybody knows good pitching stops good hitting. Our guys are pitching great.
bit guys pitching starting
This team's resilient, ... We don't quit. Guys in here have battled back from injuries, the pitching staff's a little bit banged up. Now, we're starting to come into our own.
