Cincinnati needs to take notes from Houston. Houston fans are among the top five fans in the game.

At Texas, I was a football player playing baseball. And the way I play I think I still am.

I hope baseball doesn't get to the point where everyone's saying, 'He takes it [steroids]. He takes it. He takes it!' because not all of us do. I've been big my whole life, and I'll always be big. That's all natural.

In baseball, it's tough to get up for every single game, every single moment. In football, you have 90,000 fans screaming and the band's playing. I do miss that adrenaline rush.

Hey, I'm serious here? Why do you have to ask me how many hits I have?

In my opinion I really haven't done anything yet. I still have a lot to prove. I just want to prove to myself that I can play at the highest level of baseball in the world every day.
