I totally forgot but that's a good sign. I could go a couple more days (in the minor league camp) and then not be afraid to do it. I'm not experiencing any pain, only a little soreness from running.
It was a strange year. It happens to one team each year, where everything goes your way. It was a good team last year, but we had a lot of things go our way. We had so many one-run victories. In years before, we always lost those games, or we'd lose half those games.
It was good to go back and forth, seeing a lot of pitches. After the second at-bat everything felt normal.
Swish is a real good kid and he likes to have fun. He has a pleasant attitude and he's just a refreshing piece of energy. I tell him, 'Don't think, just react, and let your talent take over.
It's a good moment, but not in the middle of a four-game losing streak. I missed a lot of baseball the last two years. Thank God I'm back playing.
It feels real good to do what I do. That's why I was happy in there. I'm very encouraged.
They don't have sense enough to move that before it starts rotting.
I'm real close to ready now. I can get in there with the big boys now.
I just think I deserved better, some closure, in Chicago. If they'd just said they were going in a different direction, it would be fine, but no one gave me any heads up about what was going on.
I'm just happy to be sitting right here in Chicago and right here at U.S. Cellular Field, holding my Hall of Fame press conference. I'm proud of that.
If I'm in a cast, I can't do it. We'll see how it works out, but I'll be around.
I think he's become a better pitcher. He really concentrates on spots more than just blowing you away.
I was shocked. It wouldn't have been about money with me this year. It would have been about closure in Chicago. ... They brought in Jim Thome, and he was more injured than I was last year.
Everything is working out well right now. I just can't do what I used to do. I'm not going to run just to be running. I'm not going to continue to pound the thing in and let it flare up. I'll do what's necessary.
