guys
It hurts. I think guys were disappointed in themselves, a little embarrassed.
handled talking tired
I handled it all right. I'm tired of talking about it. I'm OK.
came final game hair head last people pulling racking talked whether
I think (Tuesday) was the final decision. I'd been racking my brain, pulling my hair out (about whether to retire). I talked to some people in the game and my family, most importantly. It came to a head last night.
gets hit home looks swinging time trying
He looks old but he's still swinging the bat, ... It just looks like every time he gets up there he's trying to hit a home run.
add baseball compare game great hand home
I think the game was out of hand before that (home run). It doesn't (mean a great deal) because I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm not a baseball historian. I don't go home and add it up. I'll add it all up after I retire.
bad despite except good last playing remember scoring supposed weather year
I think we're playing good baseball. We're getting a lot of hits, scoring a lot of runs, despite playing in bad weather except for the last two days. I remember last year we were 12-2 and we were supposed to be going to the World Series.
fantastic seen
That was a fantastic at-bat. That's what you try to do - I've seen him do that before.
finish leads program wanting
I don't have a set program or plan. It all leads to wanting to be game-ready. There is a finish line.
acting almost gain good ground guys job trying
I don't feel a sense of urgency. We've been trying to gain ground almost all year, but I don't see guys acting any different than earlier. And if they are, then they weren't doing a good enough job before.
came game hair head last people pulling talking thinking
I've been wracking my brain, pulling my hair out thinking about it. I've been talking to people in the game and my family, most importantly. I've been talking with my boys. It came to a head last night.
barry happening needs nobody
Things are happening for Barry right now and nobody else needs to be included.
few good heck last today weeks wrist
The wrist is OK. Today was a good day. It was a heck of a lot better day than the last few weeks have been because I got to get out there and play.
fair roads spending
The roads are better than when I started, and I think I've been fair in spending your money.
barry fought time
That's not an excuse. Me and Barry fought all the time and we went to the World Series.
