goes guy importance time
Obviously, we know the importance C.C. has to this team, so any time a guy like that goes down there is some concern. But you feel for him as a person more than anything.
dad game good people sounds time win
My dad used to say all the time to go out and win this inning. It's one pitch, one inning, one game at a time. It sounds ridiculous, but people who are good at doing it have more success.
yankees jeter ghost
Derek (Jeter) told me the ghosts would show up eventually!
home thinking play
I don't know why we play better on the road. I really don't. Chalk it up to coincidence, I guess. I don't think we care where we play, which is a good thing. But you'd like to see our home record be a little better than it is.
team reality years
We hope we're better. The reality is we had a pretty darn good team last year. But you can't just throw your gloves out there and be good again. We want to take that next step as a team.
biggest notch pick strengths
We need to pick it up a little bit. One of our biggest strengths is that we come to play every day. We really need to notch it up and play better.
both
It was the same way for both sides.
(Santana) pitched well today. But Jake was even better, because he was able to be a little more efficient.
definitely fortunate guys takes
Sometimes it takes guys a little longer. It's different for everybody, but he's definitely a guy we are fortunate to have on our team.
messages send time white year
You don't send any messages this time of year (to the White Sox).
believe exciting runs score wild
That one was gift-wrapped, but when you score 11 runs in an inning you've got to do a lot of things right. It was pretty wild in the dugout. It was a pretty exciting atmosphere. It was like a little kid's feeling. We were giddy. You can't believe what's happening.
bad bit game good humbling lately time
This game humbles you all the time in good and bad ways. It's been humbling a little bit lately in a bad way, and this is just the same. It's humbling.
advanced excited fun good players watch
We have young studs, ... They are not only really good players but advanced and good people. They know how to act. It's fun to watch these guys. I'm just excited to be a part of it.
asked good question ready
We?re ready to go. Hopefully, that translates into a good start. I don?t know, it?s a question we get asked a lot.
