average channel close easily flip football game happen homes people sit tragedy turn watch
To happen in New Orleans, being so close to Tampa, it could have easily been me or my family. I just thought, how could I sit and flip the channel and watch a football game and go on with my average day when people are out of homes and everything they've got? To turn my back on it would be a tragedy in itself.
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.
equally good guess home latin sent
If you're equally good as this Latin player, guess who's going to get sent home? I know a lot of players that are home now can outplay a lot of these guys.
attendance blind came home knew meant money owners run runs spike sudden turned understood
When McGwire started the home run mania, attendance came back. The owners understood that the sudden spike in homers wasn't accidental. All baseball knew it. But baseball is run on money, and home runs meant money. Baseball turned a blind eye.
anybody change regardless
We know what this is about, regardless of what anybody says. They've had their way with us pretty much this year, and we have to go out and change that in our favor.
capable continue playing
We're playing like we are capable of playing. If we can continue to play like this we'll be fine.
except fame game good hall hear humbling mechanics screwed stay
My mechanics are so screwed up, there's nothing you can really tell me except stay back. Reggie was on me to stay aggressive, stay positive. This is a humbling game and like he said, if it was easy, he'd still be playing. That's good to hear from a Hall of Fame hitter.
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.
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.
heal helped night
My wounds, ... It was like a cortisone to heal these wounds. I rubbed it on every night and it helped me.
help prayers receive seek
My prayers are with my uncle. I pray that he will seek and receive the help he so desperately needs.
