I had stomach flu and just came out in kind of a down game for me to begin with, ... Then hitting the grand slam, putting some runs on the board, it was a pretty good feeling. ... I thought a 6-1 lead was going to be enough for us.

Hats off to him. I think one of the hardest things to do in the game is to keep a hitting streak. I don't think as long as I'm alive we'll ever see anybody get close to 56, but if anybody is going to do it, Jimmy's a great guy.

I just know he had a stomach virus or flu symptoms last week and sometimes those things stick with you. And when you try to work through them and play at the level that he expects to play at, sometimes you don't let yourself get back (to being) completely healthy.

It's good for the game. It's bad for my stomach.

What we call stomach flu very often is rotavirus. It's a serious problem. It's not something to be ignored.

I don't think they'll all be like this. If they are, I'll have a head full of grey hair by the end of the year.
