hit protecting
I think they just didn't want anything to get out of hand. I don't make anything of it. He was protecting Jeter; they thought we hit him. It was no big deal.
beauty control face guys seven slap
The beauty has always been I can't control it, ... If I get traded, I get traded. I really don't take it as a slap in the face or anything like that. Most guys don't even play for the same organization for seven years, and I've been able to do that at home.
against becomes braves card coming front leading left playing september teams three weeks wild
These teams are out of it in May and they're way outdrawing us. And even in September we're coming down to the wire, leading the wild card with about three weeks left and we're playing in front of 17,000 against the Braves on a weekend. That's where it becomes very frustrating.

capable expect less letting others trust
As a competitor, I don't expect anything less than what I'm capable of doing. When you think you're underachieving, you feel you let others down. But trust me, I'm letting myself down more than anything else.
drawing fixed teams unless
As long as we don't have revenues other teams do, and unless we're drawing 40,000 a game, we're going to have a fixed payroll.
good showing
That's his way of showing his emotions. The way things are going for us right now, there are not too many real good things going on in this clubhouse.
love
It's great. I love it. I'm an American.
bit good great line maybe range vice
It's great for me defensively just because I know the way he plays. I know he has such good range to his right. I can cheat, maybe take away the line a little bit and vice versa.
amount certain reading
There's a certain amount of telepathy going on. He's reading my thoughts.
ball felt good hitting last slow start year
It's a good feeling. If I was hitting .230 right now but felt like I was hitting the ball hard, I would still feel OK. I got off to such a slow start last year ... this is nice.
bump health love seconds trade
That's struggling. Everything else is a bump in the road. As much as I love baseball, I would trade it in two seconds for the health of my kids.
arm bummed guys kept moving playing plenty range saw second strength
I think at first I was a little bummed out because I saw guys playing second and thought I could do a better job, ... As I kept moving up you see the range guys have. I had plenty of arm strength for third.
change crying figured five good josh number starting willing
Josh was crying to me for five years with the Marlins that he always wanted No. 19 so I told him I'd be willing to give it up. I think change is good sometimes. So I figured why not? I'm on a new team, new number and everything is new. I'm kind of starting from scratch. I feel good about that.
