As a fan, sure, you might be a little bit disappointed. I owe my teammates first, but, I will give you the common courtesy and respect of showing up.
I'm playing. Moises (Alou) has been out there every single day. His legs are a little bit sore. I'm playing. I've got to get through it, regardless.
I have no doubt in my mind my playing ability, ... I can still play the game at a high level. I just have a short period of time and hopefully it doesn't hurt the team. That's the one thing that goes in the back of my mind. They've been there all year. Their timing is a little bit better than mine. I'm having to make fast adjustments for 20 baseball games.
It was good. I finally got to swing the bat a little bit more.
After that at-bat, I was spent, ... I got a little bit tired by the fifth inning. Your adrenaline is going so hard and everybody's cheering for you out there. The team is playing well and you're so hyped up.
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.
My workouts continue to be positive and I feel that I'm getting closer to my goal of joining my teammates this season.
