That's what my goal is right now and I expect to be ready, ... But the doctors are telling me playing this year might put that in jeopardy, that I could undo any gains I've already made. No matter how much I want to play, I'm not going to let that happen.
That's my plan, that's why I'm here, ... There's no doubt in my mind I can play the game at a high level.
This division is a little ... different. It's the first time I've seen this in the history of baseball.
This division is a little . . . different. It's the first time I've seen this in the history of baseball. But you can't take two games and start riding a white pony. You've got to keep winning games, don't look back.
They gave me the silent treatment. It took me back quite a few years. It was fun.
I'm going to go back to the Bay Area, this is my thing, and I'm just going to open my own school of baseball. Find a facility, find a place and just teach kids. That's what I want to do.
I just put it off the field so no one would get hurt.
I just prayed, brother. That's it. I thought, 'Why me?'
I just pointed to him just to show him I've got more to my game than just swinging.
I'll take a 2-for-the-rest-of-the-season as long as we win the World Series. I have not swung the bat well in the past and the team has won games. There are times you're going to be a big part of it and times you're not going to be part of it. ... It's just fun to win. I'll be fine.
I'll never tell my wife to hurry up any more. Because it took me forever to get ready.
I'll do anything Felipe wants me to do, ... I have to do what's best for the team.
I just want to win a championship. I'm playing to win a championship. That's the only thing that keeps me going. ... The only thing keeping me in the game of baseball right now is trying to win a championship for the team, trying to win a championship with a bunch of guys.
I'm just waiting on the doctors, ... I'll see what they say.
