I know when I'm off alignment. I know when my body is out of adjustment. If your body is there, then mentally, you'll be there. If your body feels good, then your mind feels good and your are going to feel better about your game.
Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.
It's a relief now to be able to stand next to my godfather and finally feel like I've accomplished something in the game of baseball.
Sometimes I surprise my own damn self.
Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball
We've got a winning record, so it's not a big deal. There are times you're going to be a part of it and times you're not going to be a part of it.
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.
I'm not thinking about the games yet. I want to be there with the guys. I can't wait to get home, to see the fans in San Francisco. I love the ballpark, the city, the fans. I feel I will play this season, but I don't know when.
I've never cared about records anyway. So what difference does it make? Right now, I'm telling you, I don't even want to play next year. Baseball is a fun sport. But I'm not having fun. I love the game of baseball itself, but I don't like what it's turned out to be. I'm not mad at anybody. It's just that right now I am not proud to be a baseball player.
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.

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.
