I don't see why you would shoot for second place. We're still in a race for the A.L. East, so that's what our approach is. We're trying to win the division. You don't ever go into anything saying you want to finish second.
It's out of our control now. We need some help, any way we can get some help.
You try to get on base for him.
Even when we were behind, we thought we could come back. But we just couldn't hold them. To try to come back, you've got to be able to shut the other team down.
That's pretty rough. That's dangerous because the bat was split in half.
It's an honor to represent Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. I'm excited to promote international baseball and it's terrific that gamers who pick up Major League Baseball 2K6 will be able to experience the same excitement of the World Baseball Classic.
It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been over the years.
It's not much of an issue, ... are going through the same thing. It's not like they're taking the Concorde out there.
It's not that hard to figure out. I was always good in math.
Everybody's talking about our offense, but it doesn't win games. It's pitching and defense. If I don't make that mistake, Wang would have kept rolling.
The biggest penalty is still being identified publicly. Ten games, 20 games - it's not that big a difference but the identification is still the biggest thing.
The atmosphere was great. We had heard there were going to be a lot of fans from Mexico. It was a little more than we thought would be here.
It wasn't like, 'I'm going to do this to you. I'm going to do that to you'. It was just a stupid letter. I've gotten stupid letters before. That's basically it. Now, for some reason, it's on the front page and it's some big, huge story.
It's always easier to hit when it's a low-scoring game and your pitcher is doing the job. It all starts with pitching. Our offense got so much publicity early on, but pitching is the most important thing.
