When I come back, I want to be able to help this ballclub, ... Not just be a body on the field. So I've still got to run the bases (in practice), and I've still got to do a couple more things.
Each day is better, ... I'm not 100 percent. I'm not going to be 100 percent because it's going to take another three to four months for it to heal completely. For me, it's being 100 percent functional and doing what I need to do to help the ballclub win.
It is what it is, ... We have to battle through. Nobody's 100 percent, but I think as long as you're functional you can go out and help the team.
Well, it never gets old. It was fun. I'm not quite there yet with what's going on. When they say 'MVP,' it's numbing. It's not like it's over yet.

Lima has always been Lima. He tries to get you caught up in his world, ... He did tonight.
It felt like I had never played baseball before and I was glad to get that one out of the way, ... was real nice.
When you get the juices going, when you're in the moment, ... it's very hard to calm down.
When you hit a home run in that situation, it is gratifying, ... Then when you hit home plate, then you've forgotten about it and you've got to move forward. So it's a lot of fun, but we've still got a long way to go.
Winning is an attitude. Winning is being able to go out to have a relentless attitude. Yeah, you can teach that. It is going to take a lot to understand. It is a group effort, not an individual effort. We have to try to embed that in their heads.
