develop relationship
I want to develop a relationship with my teammates.
ability couple enjoying few fun game last minor proven talked
We talked about it, we made a few minor changes. I've proven I can do it, I have the ability. The last couple years it hasn't happened. I don't think I'm on the downside, I don't think I'm sliding. I can still play the game. It's just relaxing, having fun again, enjoying the game again.
heart lost
We lost a lot of heart -- those two guys.
call change decides pull until
You can't do anything about it until he decides to change. Hopefully, he'll pull through this, and it'll be like a call for him to change some things in his life.
blame
This one's tough. I take a lot of blame.
blame
This one's tough, and I take a lot of blame. I feel like I should have come through in those situations.
lying pitcher players team throwing whether
All players would be lying if they said they didn't know a pitcher was throwing a no-hitter -- whether it would be their team or the other team. You look up on that board, you know you don't have any hits. I had never been part of a no-hitter. I didn't want that to happen, either.
best came enjoyed game guy last meet minute people played sorry speeches tough
It's tough to meet a guy better than him. He was always happy-go-lucky, even when he came down with glaucoma. That was one of the best speeches I've ever heard. He told people don't feel sorry for him. He enjoyed the game, he enjoyed every minute of it. That's why he played every game as if it was his last because you never know when that day is going to come. That's the way he played.
blocking opinion voice whatever
They have the right to voice whatever opinion they want to. It's not going to make me play better, it's not going to make me play any worse. I got to get used to it and I'm blocking it out as much as I can. It is what it is.
almost angry attention loud pay
I try not to pay attention when things are bad. It's so loud and it's so angry right now, it's almost funny.
babe good home run ruth second talk
They talk about Babe Ruth like he's got the home run record. He ain't the home run king. He's a good player, but he's in second place.
enjoyed life puck size
Puck enjoyed life and enjoyed the size he was. That's who he was.
hit home row runs seen three voice
I've seen friends go through it. Sammy Sosa hit 60 home runs three years in a row and he went into a little slump. They have a right to voice their opinion. It's not going to make me play any better, it's not going to make me play any worse.
entitled good point teams
That's fine. Everybody's entitled to do what they want to do. But I'm not going to point fingers. That's not what good teams do.
