While I am flattered about the speculation of being enticed out of retirement, I’m happy with life as a bad golfer!

I know guys that are going to struggle. I know guys that don’t play and ‘bean’ up. To me, that’s becoming pretty reliant on something. It’s going to have an effect. I don’t think there’s any doubt.

The last thing I want to do is hurt the club’s chances of winning. I’m used to playing the game a certain way and at a certain level. When I can no longer do that, I’ll quit.

It's been an electric atmosphere. You would never expect to see the crowds that large, especially with the (hot) weather. I think this ballclub has piqued the interest of Atlanta. People want to come out and see what all the hubbub is about.

It's heartbreaking. We're really going home on a down (note).

It's good to get us out to a lead. Unfortunately, that was pretty much it. It feels good to get back in there.

It's going to prevent people from playing the number of games they want to play because they relied on it for so long.

It's going to have a lot bigger effect on the game than steroid testing. It's more rampant than steroids. ... I think the fringe players will be weeded out.

It's almost like a cliche, but we'll just prepare for nine innings of baseball and not think about the past. Those things are done.

It's the best baseball experience of my life. Period. Bar none. It beats any World Series win, any World Series loss, any All-Star Game.
