honest lights talked turn
This is nothing to be talked about, to be honest with you. Turn the lights on and I'll be ready.
ahead eyes hit took turned
I feel good. I wanted to go ahead and do everything, but the eyes were on me and told me not to. I just hit and took it easy, then did the running, which turned out OK.
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.
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.
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.
everybody family happens problem related sure
I'm sure everybody in a family has a person in their family that has a problem ? drug related or whatever. He happens to be the one. It's just one of those things where when he hurts, I hurt.
functions half wives
In L.A., wives can fly on the plane; with the Yankees, they can't. With other teams, the wives always have functions to bring them together. Not here. You don't know what half the wives look like.
fired guys team trying wind
I know these guys are out of it and trying to be spoilers. I was just trying to get the team as fired up as you can. When a team is out of it, you try to take the wind out of them. But they showed their resiliency.

stiff
It's still stiff and still sore. It's the same as yesterday. I'm day to day.
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.
tells
I'm not playing, am I? That tells you how I feel.
compensate half last plate top trying
I'm getting on top of the plate like I did last year. I'm just trying to compensate and make adjustments. Running, I'm pretty much about half speed. That's about all I got.

I'm not going to defend myself the rest of my life.
