badly close coming game hurts results teammates watching
Just watching my teammates on TV, how close they're coming and not getting results ... it hurts a lot. I'm there on the couch, the game is close and they need a big hit, and I'm, like, 'Jeez, let me get out there.' I want so badly to be part of it again.
area coming decided definitely driving house pirate smith spring stadium weird
It's definitely weird driving by Ed Smith Stadium (the Reds spring home) over there and coming over here (to Pirate City). We like the area over there. To tell you the truth, I (rented) the house before I was traded. I just decided to keep the house, make the commute.

He did what he did. There are consequences, he paid his price. Now he's ready to get back.

I've been there. Your first reaction (as a runner) is to put your elbows up (to ward off the collision).

Every time I got on the elevator in the hotel, I'd meet people who had evacuated. You could see on their faces that they were distraught.

They pitch it and they catch it. If you can pitch and play defense, you can play for Bobby Cox. They give you 27 outs, and that's it.
fond great memories
It's great to be back. I have a lot of fond memories here.
drive earlier fastball game looked pitchers step
I got a fastball middle-in and was able to drive it. It was big because it looked earlier like they had the game won. Our pitchers were able to step up and really come through for us.
commitment people pet realizing serious start
People start realizing that having a pet is a serious commitment, one they can't handle.
