My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me.
You can't play not to get hurt. You can't worry about that.
You don't sleep much during the playoffs, anyway. They're going through the same exact thing. It's not like they're taking the Concorde out there.
No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.
Oh, yeah, just because of the moment. You know, it's not the first time that I heard it. It's just I was so proud. It was just the first day back home.
No team wants other teams to come in and beat them. They know that we're in a race, and they're playing for pride as well, so we've got to be ready for them. We've got to win. That's it.
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.
He has his own feelings. You've got to understand his feelings. He's the owner of the team. He doesn't want anybody to get hurt. He's entitled to his opinion. He's the boss. He's always had his own opinion and he always will.
He seems not to be bothered by anything, and that will help him here. Obviously he's a great player. But he's not going to have any trouble adjusting to New York after being in Boston.
At this stage of the game, teams really focus on scouting reports.
It looked like some people might have been scared. It's something I think everyone will remember.
It's an opportunity to try and expand the game globally. I think there's going to be a lot of interest, especially in some of the countries that haven't come over to play before. I think it's great for the game.
Every year, it?s a new guy. Feel free (to stay over with Damon).
I wouldn't change it for the world. Have there ever been days where I wished I was this or I wished I was that? ... No, It's always been a positive.
