I think he's a landslide winner. You're talking about a guy who plays Gold Glove defense, the best center fielder in the game, bar none. Everybody's just been waiting for him to turn the corner offensively, and now he's done that.
From a team point of view, it wasn't a real good trip. But from an individual standpoint of getting to go out there and prove myself with some of the best players in the country and the world, it was very satisfying.
He's certainly the best that we have, and he has the stuff to do it.
I don't think there's any doubt (he's one of the best pitchers in the league). I would put him right up there. There are guys in this league you have to work your tail off to put the ball in play against them. Pedro is one of those guys.
I don't think there's any doubt everybody is looking at us and gunning for us. Baseball is our national pastime. It's always been perceived that Americans play the best baseball.
It's the best baseball experience of my life. Period. Bar none. It beats any World Series win, any World Series loss, any All-Star Game.
It was probably the best baseball experience of my career. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every day was a new memory, a new career high.
We got a win. No matter how ugly it is, it's still a win,
We got a wakeup call. If it had been the right score between Mexico and Canada, we were heading home.
Roger isn't ever going to let up, no matter who he's playing.
It does show we're going back to normalcy when Met fans begin booing again.
I thought it was awesome. I never played winter ball, never got to play in a Caribbean Series. The Mexican fans brought a lot of excitement to the game.
Logic would say Roger has the upper hand in that situation.
That was him being less stubborn and making some changes he needed to make at the plate.
