I'm going to kick back and watch some baseball. I'm not ready to commit.
I'm glad I made the decision, ... Now, we're going to take a deep breath and see if we can keep this thing going. ... It's great. This is for the city, our fans at home. It's for the entire team, but there are special cases in this.
I'm going to enjoy this, the next two weeks. Good or bad, it won't factor into my decision.
I mean what I featured out there tonight to allow them to get up by four runs and then add to that, it's just not going to get it done. I don't care who you're facing or who you're playing, it's not going to get it done.
I'm not even going to mention that word. I've been trying to do that for a couple of years now and it's not working.
I'm excited because I want people coming to Memorial City Mall to have a new option for great, family-friendly dining. Roger Clemens' Rocket Sports Grill will be as much for women and children as for the guys. Whether they come for lunch or dinner, I want everyone to relax, have fun and feel comfortable.
I'm excited to be a part of it. Obviously. this is a good group of guys. We'll be ready to go.
I'm proud of the way he carries himself out there. But I'd be proud of the way he carries himself if he wasn't playing baseball at all.
I mean, in games like this, it's as important to focus on making pitches. Today I made pitches, quite a few more pitches than I made the other night,
I mean, I'm 43. I can use that as an excuse, can't I?
I know the throwing part of it was fine, and I appreciate the guys letting me get out there and do this. Once we knew we'd be doing the World Game stuff, we talked to (Major League Baseball and got their approval), and it's a nice situation to get out there and get some work done.
I knew when the skipper looked at me and said, 'Put your things on,' he wasn't kidding. So I went out to the bullpen.
I'm looking forward to the next couple weeks. I'm glad they asked me to be a part of this and I'm glad my body responded well enough. I'm here and I'm thankful for it.
The champagne tastes better and better as you get older, ... I'm glad I made the decision (to keep playing).
