The clubhouse was different. Everything was different, ... We need to find the feeling when you come here to the clubhouse.

It feels better. What I want to do is come back before the end of the season and at least give it a test in games.

I would like to play,

I don't like to watch my team lose. I feel a little pressure. It's not going to help my team sitting the way I have.

Right now I don't see this team like it used to be early in the season. I've only been around when they play here. It's tough for me to say how they do on the road. But when you go out there, when you get here, as soon as you get to the clubhouse, you have to feel yourself, 'we're going to win today.' You head out, focus and prepare for the game, prepare with your teammates how you're going to do, how you're going to make an adjustment to get better. I don't think we've got that kind of players over here. We've got pretty good players that can be All-Stars. We've got Pudge (Ivan Rodriguez), all those guys. We need to stay together. This game is not easy. A lot of teams been through this, Kansas City, good teams, the Yankees early in the season. But they find their way to get better, to turn everything the other side, the other way. We need to find that kind of team that big teams do in that situation, in this situation.

I feel better. When I get back, I want to play every day, not the way I've been playing.
