That seems to be pretty much where I'm leaning. I think it's going to be the team I'm going to represent, kind of like what (Mike) Piazza's doing with Italy.
It took me a little while to realize that Joe knows everything that's going on around here. It might not seem that way, because he's so low-key. But he knows exactly what's going on in the clubhouse and in the dugout. I've never seen a manager that plugged in.
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 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.
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.
Seems like it was inevitable. You knew that it would come to this.
It was shock. You almost feel like you have three, four more innings to play and the game is over. They made a 6-4-3 double play and it's time to go back home. It doesn't seem fair, but they beat us plain and simple in the field.
You're obviously scared to death. That ball seemed like it was 110 miles an hour off the bat.
I remember I couldn't get to sleep that night because Kirby Puckett had said hello to me.
I would trade this award for David's World Series trophy. Winning an MVP is great, but I came here to do one thing, to win one championship and go from there.
I already heard what he had to say, he apologized. The apology has been accepted. We've move on from there. Ozzie and I have always been friendly. It's not really that big of a deal.
I'm happy for Randy, because he's taken a lot of unfair criticism and he's pitched excellent of late. And that's what we got him for: to come in here, in a hostile environment, and take a great lineup like the Red Sox and dominate them. He's the one component we didn't have last year.
I think it was the last one he threw. I'm glad he threw one. He had us talking to each other, and really nothing was said that was helpful.
Joe DiMaggio is such an icon, he's almost like a cartoon character, ... I have so much respect for him. When it's all said and done, it's something you can look back on and say that you're proud to be mentioned in the same sentence as Joe.
