denied leave needs player says talked tough
I've never denied it was tough to leave Atlanta. It's interesting to me, for someone who's been so tightlipped, that I'm the only player he's even talked about. To me, that says there is something that needs to be explained.
against deal less mean pitching pittsburgh players
I won't say it doesn't mean anything, but it's not as big a deal as it was because there are less and less players who are there when I was. Pitching against them will always mean something. It's not like me pitching against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
leave players system
I think most players are of the mind-set, if you leave our system alone, it's going to work, and it has worked,
dress fair form gave great grief hard less nowadays played teammates three
We gave him grief about everything. We always got on him about his physique, which is less than intimidating. How he'd dress sometimes. All that stuff. He was fair game. He played the game, and he gave it back. That was part of the great thing there, for the three of us to be able to be teammates as long as we were, to form a great friendship. Nowadays in baseball, that's hard to do.
age guys longer mean playing secret
We all want to know what his secret is. But you know, who's to say what old is anymore? A lot of guys are playing longer than they ever thought they would, myself included. Age doesn't mean what it used to in baseball.
caffeine impact looking people players tired using
It will be interesting to see the impact on the game. It's a very long season. I think players were using them as a way to not feel tired sometimes or sluggish. Everyone is looking for that. It's no different than the way people use caffeine to get a boost.
played rounds wayne
I have played a handful of rounds of golf with Wayne Gretzky.
everybody guy knows played seems somewhere
A lot of times, the guy that's out there pitching, you probably played with him somewhere already, ... Nowadays, it seems like everybody knows everybody.
game ourselves playoff separates teams tonight win
That's what separates playoff teams from non-playoff teams. Too often we find ourselves in a game like we did tonight and we're not able to make the play. We play well enough to keep ourselves in the game but not well enough to win those games.
ease mind players using
I think we need to do everything we can to put everyone's mind at ease about players using steroids,
care excitement playing point
I think that's still part of the excitement of being out there. If I get to the point where I don't, then I don't need to be playing anymore. So at least I know I still care about it, and it matters, and I want to do well.
capable feeling kindness monster offensive player putting question side
If there was ever any ... question about what kind of player he was going to be, it was on the offensive side of the ball. There was always a feeling that offensively, he was capable of putting up monster numbers.
goes player somebody talk talked
I'll say this and I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's interesting to me that for somebody who's been so tight-lipped about everything that goes on in that organization, that I'm the only player that he's ever talked about when it comes to a negotiation.
chance coming decision game played understand
I played this game long enough. I understand when you have a chance to try to do something, you've got to try to do it, ... I don't like coming out of the game, but that's the decision you've got to make.
