I like to be against the odds.
I don't think you're going to see me out there this year, ... That's the reality of the situation. I'm improving. I'm happy with the progress. I'm working out hard on the exercise bike and the elliptical machine, but I'm just not there yet. The last thing I want is to get back on the field and be out again a week later.
The only person I can measure myself against is myself. It's all up to me to do my job and prove that I'm doing it at the ability that I feel that I should be doing it, contributing to the ball club.
Especially off Billy, it's crazy. I haven't hit a ball like that off him ever. Ever. ... It was a big boost for us because it tied the game. They came back and beat us. It shows what kind of team they are. We played good against them. Right now, they're probably one of the best teams on the East.
I'm just looking forward again to having my name called playing left field and seeing that little kid in the stands. Those are the visions that I see. I haven't got to the game part yet, how my emotions are going to feel. Am I going to be nervous or jittery? Guys are playing really good. I don't want to mess it up.
I might not play again this weekend, ... That's how much pain I'm in right now.
I think we'll probably have a sellout. This thing is probably all over television right now.
I said no, no, no. I?m going to jump off the Empire State Building ? flat on my face.
I thought I would be a lot more sore, thought I'd have a lot harder time than I have. I'm pleased, because I'm not really that sore.
I'm still unsure of if and when I'll be able to come back this year. This has not changed in the past couple of weeks. I'm working hard on the bike and the elliptical machine, but I'm just not there yet. While I continue to progress, I do not want to push myself to come back sooner and ultimately jeopardize the health of my knee and suffer a setback. However, I still remain optimistic.
Just seeing everybody, all the fans out there was just incredible,
Members of Congress, particularly Tom Davis, can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Winn has played phenomenal, ... I mean, just phenomenal. That goes to show you have to have a leadoff hitter. He's been the guy who's been putting pressure on.
We'll be the oldest outfield in baseball history. A real Medicare unit.
