Álex González Quotes

I`m here to say God bless those people man. God bless,

I`ve got to wait until Wednesday until I start throwing, hitting, see how it feels, ... I want to take my time.

I feel like I am helping brothers... my American brothers.

I`m not mad, sad because they told me I made the team 100 percent and they turn me out. They told me I was staying in a Marriott hotel and that we`d be working out at 5:30 Friday.

This homer is even more important than the one I hit for the Marlins in the World Series. This was for my country.

I want to play but I don`t want to play like that, not (being at) 100 percent.

This isn`t one day, ... I prefer them to give someone else a chance. ... Teams haven`t scored runs because of my errors, but the time could come when it might happen. I don`t feel like myself, like the Alex I`ve been in the past. ... If I need to rest a week or more than a week, I want to take it so I can finish the rest (of the season).

It`s very hard (to leave). This is a new team I got to know. But it`s part of the job. It`s for your country, and you got to represent your country. It`s a new league. I have to get to know the pitchers. I`m sorry I have to leave, but it`s OK. Some of the guys, like Alex (Cora), they`ll help me, tell me how a pitcher throws.

I can`t say I`m totally disappointed, I`m more sad. I`m glad to be back with my team. I can play more here. It`s a new league, new pitchers.

I want to play, ... I don`t feel like the same Alex, the guy you see every day.
