Baseball Quotes
Spring Training is just a fun time. I really don't know how to explain it. Everyone's got new jokes and everyone is having fun with each other. You get to have your cake and eat it, too. You get to have a life. During the regular season, you don't because it's all day long -- baseball is at the end of the day. But here it's at the beginning of the day and then, with me, I'm going to go out and play golf every day for the next six weeks.

Everybody Quotes
There are a lot of us that were on that 2003 team, so it's not like it's showing we know how to win. We've got to win games, we've got to score runs and we've got to pitch well. We need to get everybody back on track. It's nice to come back and score all these runs after the worst loss I've seen since I've been in Florida. It was nice.

Afford Quotes
Fifty percent of me says they'll keep mostly everybody here and 50 percent says they won't. I know the stadium is a big issue. Jeffrey wants to win more than anybody I've ever met, but at what price? I mean, how long can you afford to keep doing this? There are no prospects of getting us a stadium. We've won two world championships and we can't get one. It's crazy.

Baseball Quotes
Everybody has new jokes. It's a fun time. I don't really know how to explain it. You get to play baseball for a living and get paid very well and you get to have a life. During the season you don't have a life because baseball is all day long. Here it's at the beginning of the day and then I can go play golf every day.

Anybody Quotes
It kind of shocked me. When I read it, I can't lie, I did chuckle. It wasn't chuckling at anybody really, it was just because I know Ozzie. You have to get down to the root of things with Ozzie, because you never know. You don't know if he was serious, if he was joking -- you just don't know. He could've just been trying to get a rise out of those guys.

Bunch Quotes
I'm about respecting the game. Even if it is a home run, I don't think it's the right thing to do. It's not like I wanted to fight the guy, but I wanted to make the point that you look like an idiot when you do that and it's an out. It was my fault. I should've let it go. He didn't do that last year when he was hitting a bunch of homers. I guess one season changes you.

Create Quotes
I figured it would probably end up being a deal where I don't want all of the comparisons. I want to be my own person and create my own deal. I felt at first it would be fun to have (21), but it ended up being that I'd just rather have 19. This is the number I was in the minor leagues and in high school, so growing up, this was my number.
