Right now, I'm just trying to get back on the field. I don't care about this whole record thing. I just care about doing the best job that I can. It's hard, man, when baseball is all I've ever known and all I've ever done, to hit the switch and dim the lights a little bit.
Anyone who knows me knows I'm not jealous of anybody. I'm proud of what Mark McGwire did; I'm proud of what Sammy did. They lifted the game.
I've never cared about records anyway. So what difference does it make? Right now, I'm telling you, I don't even want to play next year. Baseball is a fun sport. But I'm not having fun. I love the game of baseball itself, but I don't like what it's turned out to be. I'm not mad at anybody. It's just that right now I am not proud to be a baseball player.
It was cool. It was a lot of fun.
I may wake up and I'm so sore I feel like I can't do it and by two hours later, I feel great and I do it. I've been doing that for years.
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.
This division is a little ... different. It's the first time I've seen this in the history of baseball.
I feel good, I was hitting the ball good in batting practice.
Everyone has their time and era, ... In all sports.
I just want to go back to San Francisco, play with these guys and give us every chance we have to get to the playoffs. I want to see the fans of San Francisco. I miss the city, I just want to go home. I can't wait to go home.
My play is fine. I haven't shot anyone yet, so I am doing pretty good. I haven't killed anyone -- gone psycho.
It was nice. It felt good to hit the ball good today.
Just seeing everybody, all the fans out there was just incredible,
A lot (fewer) balls were hit to me, and I just got stiff and cold, ... I'm trying to put a lot together in a short period of time.
