I feel for them now. They won’t be able to see me play. This is not an easy decision. Hopefully, I get another chance. But, as of right now, this is my team, and I’ve...

It’s something we didn’t expect at all. Definitely it’s not going to help the team. It’s going to bring this team down a lot.

When I came back, my knee started hurting me. If I do the running and the exercises, it will help me better for a long time.

I felt very good. I very excited. I’m happy to get that one under my belt. I don’t know what to say.

You’ve got to get a lot of things out of your head when you are hurt year in and year out. You go back and have the same injury again, that stays in your head....

I’d have to say, easily, it’s been my worst year,

Everything was settled before the game started. I’m glad it was a nice clean game out there. We’re not here to fight anybody.

They scored a lot of runs. Why can’t we do it?

I felt today that my knee was stronger than what it was, … Right now, it’s just going to be pain. … The cortisone shot helped me a lot and also the time off the...

It’s not going to take one guy. It’s going to take a lot more than that.

You know, … sometimes it’s good that you don’t have all those eyes on you.

This ball club is a lot better than last year. There’s no way we’re going to keep doing this.

I think we’ll score more runs. I’m healthy this year, so I’ll hit better. I think Dutch [Zimmerman] will really help us. I’m excited about adding Soriano to the lineup. When we get a team...

We ran ourselves out of the inning.

Don’t be alarmed, this is nothing major. I’m gonna try (Saturday), but to be sure, it’ll probably be Sunday.

We are in the same ballpark and we are not doing our jobs. That’s what I’m saying. It’s as simple as that.

When I hit that ball, I thought I had a shot, but we are in Washington, so I had to run. Who knows what could have happened after that. The bottom line is that we...

Hopefully Soriano can decide to play the outfield, and he can be the guy that steps up for him. Now we definitely need Soriano to play outfield.

We’ve been hearing since the beginning of the season, ‘Oh, next month. Oh, next month. Oh, next month.’ Here we are, and we still don’t have an owner. It could hurt a lot because a...

It’s up to me — it’s my call, … Hopefully, I can start the game tomorrow. The pain has gone down a lot, and I think I can go out there and produce.

Forget about everything that happened in spring training. Spring training is spring training. Now it’s the regular season.

It was only 3-0. If you don’t have a ball club that can come back from a 3-0 deficit you’re in trouble. We’ve got what it takes to come back. It just didn’t happen.

I was ready to play but I wanted to make sure my conditioning was OK. My concern was running around the bases. I took time yesterday and the day before to run the bases down...

We didn’t expect to be 2-9, nothing is going our way. The energy is there. Guys are relaxed. Guys are playing hard, for some reason we’re not getting wins.

It’s up to me ? it’s my call, … Hopefully, I can start the game tomorrow. The pain has gone down a lot, and I think I can go out there and produce.

I will be playing close to every day from tomorrow on. Everything feels fine. I will run tomorrow, and I’m pretty excited to get going.

If [Dr. Andrews] mentions that I need it, then I’m going to do it,

When you have a group of guys the talent that we have here it’s getting old definitely. We expect people to do the job on a consistent basis. Maybe one day we do it but...

We didn’t get that big, big hit. We were right there to put this game out of reach.

Basically, he said I need the surgery if I’m going to play without this pain next year,

My past two years have been injury-plagued. This spring training is very important for me.

It killed us last year and I am pretty sure it’s going to kill us this year.

Right now, I feel like I’m capable of playing every day, … We’ll see what happens after tonight.

I told Frank I want to play a lot more. I want to see how my body reacts after three days and we go from there.

It’s time to make a decision. Somebody should take the responsibility and tell us how it’s going to be, … They just need to treat us like a big-league team. I don’t understand why. Somebody...

Something’s got to be changed, but it’s up to us. The changes that need to be done are within ourselves. The guys who are in the lineup need to perform.

He’ll be all right. This team goes as far as he goes. It’s early and we still have a lot of confidence in him.

That’s the way things are going for us this year, … It’s tough.

I understand everything Soriano is saying. I would probably try to work it out. That’s a team decision. I hope that both of us can be in the lineup at the same time. That would...

It’s an airplane field, it’s not baseball dimensions.

It’s been a very frustrating year for me, because I want to be out there,

I don’t know if I’m going to be here by the time they build the stadium, but obviously that’s a great step. This ball club is going forward, and that’s very good news.

I’m going to have to make a decision in a couple of days, … The doctor suggests I need to clean my knee again, to do another surgery.

If they really cared. They’d move the fences in.

We want to get home badly and stay a while. It’s tough living out of a suitcase. It feels like we’re still in Spring Training.

I was thinking, ‘Man, I gotta get a hit,’ … But I was also thinking ? ‘If I go down, at least I go down against a good pitcher.’

I’m very happy I didn’t do the surgery. I’m very happy I went home and busted, worked hard and made myself better. … I want to show the organization that they can count on me...

We have plenty of time to work on it but we are going to have to deal with it [the dimensions].

I haven’t had an MRI yet, so I don’t know what the situation is.

I’m very happy. Everything was good today. It was a lot better.
