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.
anybody bottom side trying
The bottom line, ... is why should you be trying to get anybody on your side if you're doing the right thing in the first place?
anybody bottom league major obviously putting talk throws wonder
When you see Major League Baseball putting academies in other countries, obviously that throws up a red flag. You wonder why they ain't going up in our neighborhood. Bottom line, what I see, I talk about... I see it over and over. If anybody can show me I'm wrong, then show me.
bottom man night saved slip
The only thing that saved that man that night was I didn't have mine. That was it. Bottom line. I just slipped that night. But I won't ever slip again.
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.
