I think we're very fortunate to be in the position we're in considering how many opportunities early on we really let go.
There's a little bit of a different swagger this year.
Along with Randy Johnson, he's been the biggest difference between last year's team and this year's team.
That was a tougher play, mine was an easy play, ... I thought it was actually a base hit.
Johnny is absolutely tailor-made for New York. He has a great supporting cast, he's a fantastic player and getting better with age. He's the ingredient that we needed.
They looked all-world today, but it's a long season. They have certainly made some very good improvements. Our league is going to have to watch out for the Blue Jays.
The only thing we know is we got to beat South Africa and score a lot of runs.
who can change the game around simply with his bat in his hand.
