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.

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 ... .
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.
against batting best hit home hopefully last runs time year
I can do it. Last year probably wasn't the best batting average, but I've hit the most home runs I've hit against lefties last year and the most RBIs. Now it's time to hopefully put it together.

This one's tough, and I take a lot of blame. I feel like I should have come through in those situations.

My understanding is it's a mild strain, and I'll get a couple days off. I'll get treatment and see how everything goes.

I bring a lot of energy. Hopefully, the other guys can feed off my energy.
hearing help kinds stuff team
No, I don't think so. Like I said before, I'm going to go out and play and play hard. Right now it's a little tough. I'm not getting very many hits. I'm hearing all kinds of stuff in the outfield. But, hey, I'm here to help this team win.
hard matt talked
Yes, I was surprised. Stunned. I never thought something like this would come up with Matt. I don't know all the details, but he's a hard worker. Everything he's gotten, he's earned. I actually talked to Matt today, but we didn't talk about this. I didn't say anything about it.
kidding
I thought he was kidding when he told me he was going to do it. It was surprising.
