forward last lifetime looked sure
It's a lifetime experience, something you've looked forward to your whole life. You're not sure if you want it to be over with, or if you want it to last forever.
bring honor supposed uniform
It's not supposed to be personal. It's not about you. It's not about your opponent. It's about the game. It's about it being an honor to put the uniform on at this level. Don't bring it down from that.
history richness selected shocking stadium traded
For an organization and a stadium with the richness and history that it has, to be traded over in '02 and selected to this, it's surprising, shocking and much appreciated,
awhile coming everybody familiar forward good guys looked people pulse takes
It's a big part of that a lot of people don't understand. We had a good pulse here. You looked forward every day to coming to the park. Everybody was a big part of the team. It'll be like that again, but it takes awhile for guys to become familiar with one another.

feeling field good healthy run shoulder stay
I've been healthy. My shoulder has been feeling good and I've been able to respond. As long as I can stay healthy and stay strong, I'll run out on the field every day.

Things are starting to look a lot easier for Albert.
behind break camp extra feeling four healthy jamming magic mean number rather risk sluggish sure thinking
The thinking right now is I'd rather break camp healthy. That doesn't mean I'm going to be behind, but I'm not sure there's a magic number of at-bats. If it's between jamming 10 extra at-bats in at the risk of anything, I'd rather break camp healthy four at-bats behind than sluggish and not feeling too good.
dive doctor number pulled
Don't dive for 10 days. I think the doctor pulled that number out of a hat.
beautiful early feels people
It's beautiful; it's a beautiful ballpark. It's probably a little early to say it feels like home, but the people make it home.
april bad couple days early field march point process row thousand trial
I'm not going to get down on myself if I have a bad day or two in early March, or if I can't get on the field for a couple days in a row in early March because something happens. It's a trial process that I have to come back. I've said it a thousand times, but my point is April 3rd is my date.
expect game good might talk wake
I'm not good at that. I've never been good at that. Day game after a day game, I expect to be able to play. (Saturday) I might have been a little sore, a little tight. But if I can take 24 hours, I expect to come back and play again. If I wake up (Sunday) and it's still that way, then you talk about it.

I really didn't have a decision. This is my only choice right now, to get the procedure done.

I really didn't have a decision. I know my body. Timing was the issue.
