There’s been no setbacks, … I’m right where I should be.

He told me, ‘If you’re not a thousand percent sure, don’t quit,’

focus, discipline, relying on training, trying not to take things personally, playing hard every day and hustle.

I look at what Edgar Martinez did at the end of his career, … I can see myself in a role like that.

We got a great count on him, and then we jammed him. Maddux said at the end of the inning, ‘That was awesome. You called the right pitch at the right time.’ Nice to hear.

I have no comment,

You don’t want to turn away from it. You may want to and no one would begrudge you if you did. But you shouldn’t do that. I think I’m a better person because of what...

I’m feeling pretty good, … I told them it’s their call. I’m not trying to win a Purple Heart. But I probably can play.

Perez was really one of the guys you don’t want to see come up in that situation. He can run, and he’s a slash kind of hitter.

It’s not as cold in April, not as humid in the summer.

I’d definitely take a lot less to play for a good team. This won’t be my first bite from the apple. I would like to get back to the World Series again.

It wasn’t important, … It would have been nice to have a better game. I’ve had so many thrills. I always remember what I have instead of what I don’t have. It would have been...

We’re definitely not moving in the wrong direction.

No-hitter or not, that’s a tough way to lose – period. To get a game snatched like that, it’s gut-wrenching, really.

Nice to meet you. I’m not gay.

It would have been nice to get one more shot. But I think my tank was a little empty.

They’re making it hard. It’s good. I’m excited. I’m happy they feel that way. It’s nice to know you’re wanted.

If it’s something I do, I want to take it seriously and work at it, … But I can’t see liking it enough to stop playing at this point.

He’s unbelievable. Just great stuff. Competitive. He goes out for the seventh inning and strikes out the side. That shows you he’s definitely a throwback guy. He didn’t look to go out of the game...

It’s there, … but the swelling is down. And we’ll have to see what I can do … what I can handle. It’s frustrating because it’s taking so long, but I’m not discouraged.

I know we don’t have a lot of season left, but I’m still optimistic that I’ll be able to try to come back and help as much as I can,

Please don’t quote me.
