I still don't understand why we couldn't pick him up. But we missed that opportunity. We have Tony, and we're going to have to deal with that. Pitchers still know the name. He's a threat. If you make a mistake, he will knock you out.
I don't want to be the police of the clubhouse.
Hopefully, he doesn't get eaten up by that. Hopefully, they don't swallow him.
I thought I had a shot at it.
I look at the track record, ... Most of the guys are gone that made an impact on this club. You never know. It's a business.
He was throwing gas. He was throwing 96, 97 miles an hour.
Everybody knows if Shannon stays healthy, he's going to set the table. He's the igniter, and we need him in the lineup.
I smell blood. I'm like a pit bull. Once I taste blood I'm on you ... and I'm about to taste blood.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens after Sunday. Maybe it's a countdown for Sunday, and then it'll only get better after that day.
We'll try to clear up some things, kind of throw all that out of the way. I'm sure it's gone, but we're going to reiterate it. I don't think we have too many bad guys here.
This year I feel like I'm better at the plate. Every year I make adjustments.
When you're running a lot in the outfield or on the base paths in games, you're going to be sore. When I do more than I usually then it's sore but every time it gets sore, it's getting stronger.
To black athletes, he was an icon. Everybody looked up to him. It's Dave Winfield, Andre Dawson and Kirby Puckett for black athletes (to look up to). It's tough to swallow.
I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.
