Nobody complained when we were winning

I think we are going to move the walls back next year. I'm going to put it 500 feet in the power alleys, 600 feet to straightaway center field, and we are going to figure out who's a man and who's not.

Nobody complained when we were winning. Now they are complaining when they are losing. We had the best record of any team in baseball at home. This is about winning and losing. People that make excuses are losers. I have no place for losers. I don't want to hear about the food. I don't want to hear about the clubhouse. I don't want to hear about the size of the wall, the color of the grass and the depth of the mound. I want to see production and wins. I don't care about that other [stuff]. Winners go and win. Losers complain. I don't want to be around complainers and losers.

So for those who want to complain and want to lose, they should come and ask to be traded.

I never fucking quit, never.

I never fucking quit, never. For eight years, I pitch every fucking day. And everybody know. Every day, hurt. They say, 'Livan is a quitter. Livan is going to quit.' Fuck that. I go pitch. I'm good. I go pitch.

I'm not going to miss a start. Last night, I not feel good. You don't know my body. You don't know what happened.

It's not the loss, that's not the problem. The problem is that I not feel good. My knee was bad. . . It's not always bad. That's the only day I feel like that. It happened when I ran to first base and I feel something different that I not feel before. So I said, maybe when I wake up in the morning, 99.9 percent I need the surgery, maybe. . . . My knee look like it going to explode, last night. You don't know. My knee, I think I cannot work. That's why 99.9 percent.

I'm pitching with my knee more than 17 starts like that. I never quit. Somebody else maybe quit. But not me. I'm going to make every start now. I don't got no problem. I feel, last night, not good. ... My knee looked like it want to explode last night.

I feel good today. Not 100 per cent, but I feel much better, and I'm not going to miss a start.

Everybody in the clubhouse knows me very well. And everybody knows that I go on the mound every five days with my knee. ... I'm not the kind of guy that going to complain too much.

You don't know how I feel last night. You don't know I got a bad leg. You don't know I don't sleep last night because my knee hurt. That was the problem.
That and Wil and the Dark Angel DVD.

3 years

Its been for 3 years now, and I no say nothing.

But now I say something.

Why they cancel Dark Angel? And now, why they cancel Wilfredo?

Miss Alba was spicy, and she kicked butt, like Wil and I have been doing all year. It's like fastballs? singles? Alba? need some of theeseee? Between Dark Angel and hanging out with Wil, I was happy.

In 2002 they cancel Dark Angel!!! I had VHS tapes of the two seasons. I wached them all the time. But early in the season, my VCR break. It was always with lines in picture, but I no mind. But in Viera, the tapes break, and VCR breaks. No Alba!!

So I just hang out with Wil, and think of Alba. And we win ballgames.

But last night, things different. Wil got cut. So now, no Alba, and No Wil. I still pitch last night, but everytime I walk off mound, I think of Alba. It took long time to get to dugout! Mmmm, Alba. But she gone. And Will gone. And I no want to pitch no more.

In the 5th inning, I got a call from Wil on my Cell. Frank no looking, so I take the call. He says that he got bootleg DVD of Dark Angel, that we'd watch together if I meet him. I say I have to pitch, and he say screw that, come to Portland, we party and watch DVD. Baseball sallaries guaranteed, he say, just say your knee hurt. He say DVD has lost episodes.

I say I think about it. I let you know. Either way, after the season, I'll see lost episodes, and tell you about it.

I'm not going to say nothing

I'm not going to say nothing
. . . And this is the best organization. After the season, I'm going to tell you something. Don't worry about it.

The knee is okay, I not say nothing about my knee is hurt. Nothing. I don't say nothing about my knee.

Listen, it's hard for me. You think it's easy, but it's not easy. It's not easy for me to make the decision. It's not easy.

I love my teammates. I love this team. You know I would never quit. Never. Because I am not a quitter. Everybody knows me. I go over there and do my best.

When I come to the stadium tomorrow, I will see. I go to sleep tonight, I'm going to think about it. And that's it.
