I've been on a lot of good infields. I played on a good one in Baltimore, ... But this one has the potential to be the best.

I'm not going to sit here and crucify him. The one thing I'm going to do is stand by him. He supported me and I'm going to do the same for him.

They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion.

Nobody is more frustrated and disappointed in me than I am. ... All my accomplishments are now tainted.

I've never been in a situation where I'm getting booed so badly and I just don't really know how to handle it,

I want to get it over with. Our team is in first place [the Orioles have since fallen back], and I want that to be our focus. I don't like this 3,000-hit business right now. I want to move on with it.
