The timing is just not right. I have too many other responsibilities, too many things I have to take care of that are important to me. I owe it to the city (of San Francisco), my knee, my team, the fans and my family. I have to put my greatest effort right now into all of that.
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.
My play is fine. I haven't shot anyone yet, so I am doing pretty good. I haven't killed anyone -- gone psycho.
My mind changes as each day goes by,
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.
It felt great to hear the fans cheer. It was an exciting day for everybody.
