fun last year
Last year I didn't have fun a lot. This year I'm really having fun.
fans last stayed win year
I'm just not used to it. The fans stayed with us last year when we didn't win the division. But they can be better.
capable difficult fans forward last looking season showing year
It was a very difficult year. Last year is in the past. This year, I'm looking forward to a new season and showing the fans and everyone what I'm capable of doing.
heal helping hurting injury instead last learn wrong
That was something that I probably did wrong last year. I should have let the injury heal completely 100 percent. I just wanted to be there, and instead of helping the team, I was hurting the team. You learn from that.
difficult injuries last year
I am strong. Last year was a very difficult year. When you don't do well and go through many injuries like I did last year, mentally, you've got to be strong. I feel like I had that.
difficult injuries last maybe negative year
Maybe last year was the year of injuries and things. Maybe from now on, nothing will happen. That's the way I look at it. When negative things happen, you can't look at the negative. You've got to look at the positive. Last year was a difficult year, but this year I feel is going to be a better year.
fun last
Last year, I didn't really have fun. I didn't really have a friend. That was difficult. This year, I feel more relaxed, more comfortable. I have Carlos and I have Julio Franco.
adjustment knows period satisfied
There's a period of adjustment he's going through. I know he's not satisfied with his performance. He knows he can do better, and he knows he will do better.
decided felt good willie
It's the same thing I felt in New York. I decided to tell Willie I wasn't going to be able to make it. It's tough. I felt good at the plate, but I want to be 100 percent.
alive happy
I just feel happy that I'm alive and that I'm going to be back on the field.
matter
I'm doing everything possible, and everything right. It's just a matter of time.
hits time
I don't know if I've ever done that in my career. I wasn't getting hits and it was time for me to come through.
happens hearts love wants worried
I'm not worried at all. I don't press. No one wants to go out and get booed, but that's what happens when you play here. The fans, they're passionate, they love the game. I know in their hearts they want me to go out and do well.
expect hitter hitting people third
I know that I'm hitting third, and a lot of people expect the third hitter to never bunt. I don't think like that.
