Jason Giambi Trying Quotations

When they first got down there they were trying to speed him along. I talked to him and he said they had some good workouts . . . I don't care how much you train or whatever you do, you can't simulate being on the field and playing baseball.

I feel great. I'm ready to go. Last year, before the season started, I missed a couple of months just trying to get healthy, so it's been exciting to start from Day 1 like I've normally done, training and working out.

I was just trying to stay in my strike zone. I enjoy (multi-homer) games, it makes it fun. I'm just trying to stay locked in. This is the best I've felt in a couple years.

I was trying to get him to roll over, ... I got a lot of outs on my breaking ball. It was a good pitch.

I'm just trying to go up there and get a good pitch, ... I got a couple of mistakes and was able to hit them hard.

The game slows, ... I don't overanalyze. I just try to get a good pitch and hit it. Even when I cooled off after July, I was still taking good at-bats. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard. Tonight, I got a few mistakes.

This has probably been the toughest year in my big-league career, trying to come back from everything.
