BY SCOTT LAUBERRather than get bogged down by the nuts and bolts of Chase Utley's lengthy rehab (you'll get that in tomorrow's News Journal, anyway), here are a few other highlights from his press conference here today.
On his infamous, expletive-laced speech at the World Series parade: "That was definitely an emotional day that we all had. That drive down Broad Street was one of the best days of my life. I imagine for a lot of Phillies fans it was the same. I could've used different words to express myself. At the time, I didn't. I would tell kids not to use that word. But if they're 29 and they win the World Series, I think they can say that. I definitely would say to all the kids out there, 'Kids, that's a bad word. Don't say it.'"
On the Phillies' decision not to re-sign Pat Burrell: "He's one of my good friends, so it's going to be a little different around the clubhouse. You cannot replace the personality that he brings to the field every day. He really is a special individual. It's going to be a little different. It's going to maybe be tough at first. He kind of took me under his wing when I first got to the big leagues and showed me the ropes. But, again, you have to understand this is business. The whole point is to continue to win."
