A three o'clock start in any ballpark is tough, but it's especially tough here. I'm not looking forward to too many more of those.
An out's an out, ... We all make outs. It doesn't make it any more frustrating that anybody's on deck. It's the fact that you make outs with guys on base, knowing that's your only chance right there.
This goes back to when I was about six. I don't think I've ever felt good. It goes back awhile. The shoulder ends up hitting the wall, the diving (for balls) and lead arm swing, so it takes a lot of pounding and a lot of stress. It obviously gets sore from time to time.
Our lineup's been thin all year. We played without three guys for three or four out of six months. We'll be all right.

In the U.S., port authorities don't have any control over the private side. In Europe they do.
I just saw him kick it one time and I thought, well, they're going to be more concentrating on trying to get the guy at the plate. I just kept running.
I just think that's the way he is. But he got to be such a big phenomenon - for his whole career, basically. I don't think he ever became entirely comfortable with that.
I really wasn't worried about Scotty because he was never really complaining about his shoulder. As long as he's not hurt and not complaining about his shoulder, he's going to be fine.
I hit some balls in batting practice that I thought would be homers and they weren't. Then I hit a couple balls I didn't think were and they ended up in the seats.
I'm just going to do what I used to do, whatever was natural. I know what I'm capable of, and that's what I'm looking for.
I'm happy (for) one thing: I won't have to worry about running into Reggie anymore.
I'll be out there. I don't have a choice.
I had a chance. Carlos made a great play on Juan. I thought I hit the ball pretty good, but it just didn't go anywhere. I feel bad for Jeff. Jeff pitched a pretty good game, and two big errors, they scored two runs.
