I very easily could have popped it up, but I was able to square it up and we get out of here with another win.
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
This one has to rank up there as maybe the best, coming from a long way back. That just tells a lot about the guys in this clubhouse.
You don't slap a New Jersey girl and get away with it.
This is the most rewarding season I've ever had.
You're talking 25- and 30-home run guys and they're not in your lineup anymore, so you have to do some things differently, ... That's hit-and-running, laying down some bunts. We can't be swinging for the fences. We've got some power, but we don't have as much as we did last year. We just have to be a little more creative.

We tried some of that the other day. That's hard,
I just wanted to get to a World Series one time. We never gave up, we kept battling.
I looked at that list, and it blew me away. To be in with those names makes me feel enormously honored.
