close everyday games playing worse
When you're an everyday player, not playing is very hard. It's worse when the games are close because you can't do anything about it.
functions half wives
In L.A., wives can fly on the plane; with the Yankees, they can't. With other teams, the wives always have functions to bring them together. Not here. You don't know what half the wives look like.
stiff
It's still stiff and still sore. It's the same as yesterday. I'm day to day.
tells
I'm not playing, am I? That tells you how I feel.
demon escape genuinely meant wants
I think he genuinely meant it. I think he really wants to do the right things to escape this demon that's got him.
sure
He's going to make sure it's done. It's always calm, but he had that look.
encouraged leg slide
I was encouraged by that, to get there and slide and know my leg was O.K. after that,
compensate half last plate top trying
I'm getting on top of the plate like I did last year. I'm just trying to compensate and make adjustments. Running, I'm pretty much about half speed. That's about all I got.
capable continue playing
We're playing like we are capable of playing. If we can continue to play like this we'll be fine.
cleaned might people showing
This is what people don't understand. When they might see me do something that's not 'God-like,' then they say, 'Well, I thought you were saved?' I am saved. I'm not perfect. I have emotions still. My name's still Gary. These things here are not all cleaned up. I'm showing you my path.
anybody change regardless
We know what this is about, regardless of what anybody says. They've had their way with us pretty much this year, and we have to go out and change that in our favor.
