It shows you how well he's taken care of himself. I feel like I'll be 40 tomorrow, too.
It should be exciting. It's tough to lose teammates each year, but it's always exciting when you have new guys who come in here and you see how much they're going to enjoy this place.
It's been a tough year for me. Basically, I was just trying to put the ball in play.
It was just ridiculous what happened to us. Somebody put our magic number up on the clubhouse bulletin board, and I don't think we won another game.
It's nice. We're trying to really be careful and not get it out of control. We're working toward the goal of winning the World Series. This is a good step.
I'm going to stay off it the best I can for the next week, I guess. I don't know how many days.
I'm going to be stubborn and stay on the ball. I was more of a pull hitter (last year). It's not the way I had approached things in the first 10 years, so I don't know why in my 11th and 12th years I started changing. ... Not this spring.
I made an adjustment too quickly. It worked for a little bit, then I couldn't get back where I wanted to be.
No matter what's happened, it's important for people to remember that he became a big part of the city and of this team,
The ball carried good to left field early in the day and I think the wind shifted. It's just going to be one of those things where you have to wait and see. But it was a perfect day, you can't ask for anything more.
It's nice to be home. It's been a long six weeks in spring training and then start off on the road. It's a beautiful place and I'm glad we could pull out a win for everybody.
It's something we see all the time, ... but it's fun to see somebody like Larry seeing it up close.
It's been tough. All I can do is keep working and try to do what I can to help the team.
It kind of bounced off pretty hard, so I didn't really know. I didn't want to get thrown out.
