It's already bigger (than the Caribbean World Series). It's going to be for the fans. I think there's going to be no traffic in the Dominican (today) because everybody's going to watch this game.

I know that I can't play defense and I've got to do something for the team, so I do it with my bat.
anybody gave good help people
It's not good for anybody because I don't know what people think about me now, ... I didn't do anything wrong. I just gave a B-12 to one of my friends to help him out. I don't give any steroids.
ball direction pull side took weird
The ball took a weird hop, ... I just went to the side and the ball went in the other direction. I don't like to pull an excuse. What can I do? I'm not a Superman.

I just want to be in the lineup every day. I can forget what happened the day before. I love being at the ballpark and love playing the game. It's not about a streak. It's just about me wanting to play.
worry
I'm okay. I'm the same man. I didn't do anything wrong. I don't have nothing to worry about. The only thing I worry about is about the way we're playing. We're not winning. Something else I don't think about.

I'm working on conditioning my body and think I'll be able to play in the final games of the regular season.

We just do it for our country. Now we play for our country. We know there are a lot of people just watching the games and a lot of people believe in us. That's why we just came up and we were a little nervous. We're nervous just because we want to do something for our country.

There will come a time when my children will start growing up and they'll need more attention, but they understand that this is what I like to do.
