He's incredible. I was telling (Derek) Jeter on the bench what a great hitter he is, even on one leg.
A nice little bruise. It should be OK.
It seems like it was inevitable. You knew we'd win today. You knew Boston would win today. Even when they were down, 4-1, you kind of had a feeling.
I'm changing my tune a little bit. Nobody's here for money. You're here for pride, and to represent the U.S., and I like that part of it.
October is what I need to improve upon. But you can't think about October on Opening Day, you have to think about the present war.
Our offense is very capable. We'll come out fighting tomorrow.
It seems like it's inevitable, ... We both have great teams and we have to go through Boston now. They're the world champs. And you have to go through New York. We know that and they know that.
It gave us a little fire in our bellies to get going a little bit.
I live off my scholarship refunds. Because of my erratic schedule, I can't work but my scholarship money helps with my expenses.
It hurts to think about where we would be without these guys. They've been a godsend.
There's no question it was a momentum changer.
He is the one special player right now, like Barry Bonds , who can change the game around simply with his batting.
I want to get on a roll here. Each day, it's getting more comfortable.
I think when we saw that window of opportunity on the double play, we felt we had a chance.
