If that's what they want to do, embarrass themselves, then that's on them. That has nothing to do with me at all.
I didn't speak to the media (there) because I didn't want it to be a distraction. It upsets me that a private conversation would end up published, misinterpreted possibly because of a language barrier and be taken entirely out of context.
I want my kids to have lesser of a headache than I have. Somebody has to take on the bullets, and if it's me that's fine with me.
Matt Morris pitched a great game, guys got some key hits and I didn't really have much to do with it. I just wish we scored earlier and not put that much pressure on him.
I don't even know the guy. Tell him he's an idiot. Somebody said he wanted a piece of me. Tell him I'm at 24 Willie Mays Plaza and he can come get me anytime he wants to -- with pleasure. Don't insult my family.
(Eckstein's) one of my favorite players ever, ... I told him that he's a gift from God.
I was smiling. He showed me up out there. He hit one further than I did. I must be getting old.
Got to get all the aches and pains out.
Besides my kids being born and my wife being so supportive, he kind of really inspired me to come back, ... It was just really heart-warming to know this young kid was rooting for me and told me to keep my head up. Things that we say to young kids, this young man was saying the exact same thing to me. It just really motivated me to work harder and get back.
Right now, I'm just day-to-day, trying to get through the rest of the season,
Call it age, knee, everything, anything you want to call it.
There's some things I got to prove to myself first. I take a lot of pride playing on the field. If I could still go out there and help the team, then that's what I'm going to do. If I can't do that anymore, then I'll say goodbye.
They're doing so well, I don't want to mess it up,
They are the exact wristbands I wore in 2004 and 2005. They're exactly the same. They can't come after me now if they didn't come after me in 2004.
