control happened head kick lift rocks
I can't lift my arms, so there's not much I can do about it. I couldn't control what happened and I'm not going to kick rocks at my head about it.
decision smoke timing
When all the smoke clears, he says, you don't have any options, you have to have surgery. Not maybe, it's no, you cannot. The timing is the issue, that's the decision to make.

Now would I have taken eight or 10 weeks? Sure, I would have. At the time, I'm ready to go, the doc says I'm ready to go, it's fine.
degrees five golf hitting lifting loose playing range restricted strength tee telling turned
Right now I'm turned loose and I'm hitting off the tee and playing golf, running, lifting, strength training, lifting as much as I want to lift. I'm not restricted right now. In my range of motion, I'm right at the very end of everything -- five degrees is what they're telling me.
coming extra spring time trouble understanding
My understanding is that I should have no trouble getting back for spring training. It's a six-month rehab, maybe, and I have a little extra time in there. Hopefully, I should have no trouble coming back from the first day on.

The thinking right now is I'd rather break camp healthy. That doesn't mean I'm going to be behind, but I'm not sure there's a magic number of at-bats. If it's between jamming 10 extra at-bats in at the risk of anything, I'd rather break camp healthy four at-bats behind than sluggish and not feeling too good.
dive doctor number pulled
Don't dive for 10 days. I think the doctor pulled that number out of a hat.

There was a debate in the third where the bathroom was. We had a search party out for the bathroom; it was actually right in front of us. The door was closed.

A lot of people liked the old place. It had some history. A lot of great players played there. The way the game's going, the trend of the game, is to have new ballparks.

This is as good as I've felt physically, without question, with the shoulder since (2002).
