I've been fulfilling some personal services (in his contract). I'm here for this, today.
I was able to beat a few guys in the zone and they (fly balls) stayed in the ballpark,
I came out of the Classic pretty good, a couple of days sooner than we wanted. It was fun. Once we got the uniforms on and got out there and heard the anthems, it was pretty good. You could tell the other clubs were a little further advanced than us.
I worry more about the man's health than I do about him hitting home runs or whatever this witch hunt we're on.
I was as on edge as anyone because we were backed in a corner a little bit. I don't care who it is you're facing. In this tournament, as you've seen already, anything can happen.
I ponder to myself, this could be my last couple of starts or your last one. I'm trying to get everybody in here that wants to be a part of this and really share it with everyone. I never want to look back.
I get my determination from her, ... She told me to go to work.
My body feels great, arm feels good. I just need the conditioning with my legs.
My body feels great, arm feels good. I just need the conditioning with my legs. When I have a little extra-long session here, like I was able to throw BP and simulate a couple of hitters, it helps a lot.
I don't think that guys need to even be concerned with if Washington's going to help us out or not,
I don't think that guys need to even concern themselves with if Washington is going to help us or not. Just go out there and do it.
I'm very thankful for the opportunity to participate in this event. It made all the work I did the last six weeks worthwhile. . . . For me, right now, it's goodbye.
It was everything I expected it to be, a lot of pride. Finally, everything's come together.
She was always my first phone call to go out and work again, ... When I told her I thought 2000 would be my last year, she just continued to encourage me to go out and do what I love to do.
