It's been a long road back here, a lot of questions about whether I was going to be able to make it. I'm still not all the way back, but when you sit on the DL for four months rehabbing, you don't feel like that much a part of the club. Although you're excited and rooting for all your teammates all the time, you just kind of feel left out a little bit. Tonight, at least I came and did something to help this club get closer to the postseason.
More Quotes from Jeff Bagwell:
Oh trust me, there are plenty of thoughts like that. You're not human if you don't get frustrated and wonder, 'Is it worth doing this' But I still know I can do some things that are very positive. Am I going to be the same player I was in the '90s and 2000 Probably not. I don't know if I can ever be that player again.Jeff Bagwell
I'll be more than willing. Adrenaline will take a lot of pain out of my shoulder, ... But this is not about me, the sentimental choice and all that. ...

No problem, no question about it, ... but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

I told Phil I don't want this to be a charity case or sentimental pick. That's not what Phil is about. He's a standup guy and he's going to be honest with me. This is what he wanted. He wanted me to be here and he wanted me to get an opportunity to play, because he thinks I can do something.
