batting felt good sick stand
I haven't felt good about my batting average. I'm sick about it. I can't stand it. I know I'm much better than a .250 hitter.
camp everybody guys sure turn
In Minnesota, we had everybody in camp early. I don't know how things are over here, but I'm sure guys are excited, and I'm sure they'll come in here and try to do everything they can to turn it around.
matter
It's not about me, it's about the team. As long as we are winning, it doesn't matter what I do.
beat mud teams throw
If we can beat some teams going to the playoffs, we could probably throw some mud in the water.
clock earn everybody five last
I'm on my own clock now. I've been on everybody else's clock for the last five years. When you earn that right ... .
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.
clean concern house loss means problems team
I've got my own problems going. I can't even concern myself with the loss of D-Lee and what it means to the team and what it means to me. I've got to clean my own house first.
behind pitcher tough win
It's tough any day you lose, especially now. We pretty much have to win out. Our pitcher pitched well enough for us to win, but we didn't play well enough behind him. That's the story.
develop relationship
I want to develop a relationship with my teammates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
