bad base bench hit love name paper pulling second somebody talking understand yesterday
Yesterday I did. I want my name to be in the paper because I hit two homers and I went 4-for-4, not because of any other reason. I understand that this whole second base thing is a controversy. That's fine. I want you to understand that if I'm on the bench and somebody else is playing, I'm going to be pulling for him. I'm not going to be talking bad about anybody. I love my teammates, I love this team.
