bother caught gave
It doesn't bother me because I'm not guilty. I've done nothing wrong. I just gave him B-12, and B-12 is legal. You don't get caught for B-12.
energy last struggled three year
I think he has a lot of energy and a lot of talent. He struggled last year but I think he could come back and play two or three more years.
community friend good help home mine second teammate venezuela
I'm here because Melvin is a good friend of mine and a teammate of mine. It's a good cause, and anything I can do to help the community here, I will. Venezuela has been like a home to me. It is my second home.
everybody good knew last republic surprised team teams usa wants
I think the whole world is surprised to see that the USA lost. I mean, everybody knew that they had a good team . . . I think the whole world wants to see the USA and the Dominican Republic as the last two teams playing.
ball threw throw
That was my bad. I didn't think Byrnes was going to throw the ball to me. I thought he was going to throw home. I just threw the ball late.
team thinking years
Of course I think a 10-year investment would be in a team's best interest. Look at Cal Ripken Jr., that guy was around until he was like 40... Not that I'm going to be in my 40s at the end of the 10-year deal or anything.
play body want
I've worked hard with my body, just in case someone needs me to play third or short. I'm happy to go back to short, it's my natural position. I'm here to help and here to do whatever the manager wants me to do.

I like people recognizing me.
games play want
I don't care what any writer says about me ... I just want to play my game.
thinking earth feels
I don't think there can be anyone on earth more happy than I am right now. Inside, I feel fulfilled.
three clean given
I've never given anybody steroids before. I've been checked out three times already, and I'm clean. I've been clean all my life.
problem symbol
He and I were fine. I'm never going to have a problem with Sosa. As a Dominican, he's a symbol of our baseball.
bad hurt themselves
I don't want to say anything bad that can hurt my teammates, but look at Toronto, they have strengthened themselves and we haven't done anything.
hang
I don't want to hang around doing nothing at home.
