It's a good moment, but not in the middle of a four-game losing streak. I missed a lot of baseball the last two years. Thank God I'm back playing.
I was shocked. It wouldn't have been about money with me this year. It would have been about closure in Chicago. ... They brought in Jim Thome, and he was more injured than I was last year.
Last year, I came back too early. This year, I'm following orders and taking it one day at a time. I want to be ready on April 3.
I'd like to play every day, but that's not going to happen. Last week, at the end of spring training, (Macha) told me that I'd probably get a third day off here and there, but with Bobby (Crosby) hurt, and the Yankees in town, I wanted to be in the lineup.
We're finished talking. There's nothing else to talk about. As for love lost, basically there was not much love there the last five years. We'll just move forward.
We're finished talking. I mean, there's nothing else to talk about. Actual love lost I mean, basically there's not much love there over the last five years. So, you know, we're just moving forward.
I'm not prone (to injuries) at all. I had an unfortunate injury and I was surgically repaired. I chose to come back maybe a month too soon. Now it's feeling a lot better. The point I'm at now is a little better than it was when I returned last year.
You know, it was a heated discussion. Lasted for a while. But, I think everything that needs to be said was said.
It was a strange year. It happens to one team each year, where everything goes your way. It was a good team last year, but we had a lot of things go our way. We had so many one-run victories. In years before, we always lost those games, or we'd lose half those games.
