Besides my kids being born and my wife being so supportive, he kind of really inspired me to come back, ... It was just really heart-warming to know this young kid was rooting for me and told me to keep my head up. Things that we say to young kids, this young man was saying the exact same thing to me. It just really motivated me to work harder and get back.
They are the exact wristbands I wore in 2004 and 2005. They're exactly the same. They can't come after me now if they didn't come after me in 2004.
During the past 15 days, my knee has been feeling great, ... I was out on the track doing sprints, agility movements, throwing and exercises to help increase my stamina. Even with some fluid remaining, my knee has been handling the pressure and I've been able to work through it. My workouts continue to be positive and I feel that I'm getting closer to my goal of joining my teammates this season.

San Francisco is my home. That's the love of my life right there. Thinking that there could be a possibility, just hypothetically, to go somewhere else and DH or something like that, I really don't want to think about that at this time right now.
It's all right. I'll turn it around. I ain't hitting anything.
I just feel like I want to go back to San Francisco and be with these guys, ... I'm ready to go home.
I just want to get it and move on to something else.
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.
I want to be out there with the team, but half the team is playing with other teams. I want us to play together.
The fast ones I'm able to see. The slower ones I'm missing. He challenged me one time too many.
I don't judge them. I have to concentrate on baseball. I leave that up to you guys to make those statements in the paper.
I was young and arrogant, ... and he told me so. But you can talk to Bruce. He treats you the way you treat him. And that's what you respect.
It's been a long time. I can't even remember. What's the impact of me going to Tucson? None!
