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.
After the announcement I received a lot of criticism as well as concern from fans and my family and friends. The obvious objections were about my health and whether or not I would be ready to play. In the end, I decided that I can't take any chances that might jeopardize my season.
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 might not play again this weekend, ... That's how much pain I'm in right now.
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.
Why would I have that? I've never had a realistic game number ever in my career. If you're in the lineup, you play. If you're not, you don't.
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.
That doesn't push me at all, the game pushes me to come back, ... they're doing so well, I don't want to mess it up.
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.
