In that situation, I thought I deserved a better answer than, 'Don't you come back here and argue with me,' ... I asked, 'How's that ball a strike?' and that's the answer I get. He doesn't have time to answer the question, but he has time to scream at me.
I don't put much thought into anything right now except getting myself more comfortable at the plate and playing hard enough to get something out of these last couple days.
I don't plan on taking many off days after I get back, put it that way. But I don't expect to have to play nine innings soon.
I don't know if too many guys really understand it. The two guys ahead of him obviously managed for a long time, so it's a nice milestone. Hopefully he can manage five or six more years and get to be second. I don't think anybody's going to catch Connie Mack.
I don't know if anybody realizes what's really going on. But to have the most wins in the modern era, I think is pretty special.
Because he's a good player - he's got great defense, a good arm, runs the bases well and just plays it right.
I made an adjustment too quickly. It worked for a little bit, then I couldn't get back where I wanted to be.
I could hear Larry out there, and he was saying, 'Oh, God!' and he didn't want to call it. You really couldn't blame him.
I don't like my kids to say it, but I've used it myself, unfortunately.
I don't like the way I look on TV. I don't like the way my stance looks on tape. Sometimes, I watch my hit tape when I need some reassurance that I'm still a decent player. But I won't go watch a bad at-bat.
I couldn't walk yesterday. I got out of bed and I had to limp to get out of bed. I don't know if I stepped on a rock or something and aggravated it more and more.
It's a little sore, but I'm all right.
It's a little frustrating hearing the fans booing Jason. He's going through a tough spot right now. He's got 80-some saves the last two years, and I don't think he deserves that.
It's been tough. All I can do is keep working and try to do what I can to help the team.
