They've been outstanding. They've just stepped in and done the job.
Baseball in the past has taken a back seat to some of the other sports in terms of expansion. This is a huge step. You've got the players' association and the owners coming together on this. I think it's a great idea. People have questioned the timing of it, but when you think about it, when else are you going to have it?
Robbie's hit was huge, ... That's the benefit of playing on the road. You come out and get the chance to hit before the other team comes to the bat.
From playing with him, if you don't capitalize on him early he gets stronger. You hope it doesn't come back to haunt you, but looking at it now we wished we could have gotten a couple more runs there. But he made good pitches and he got out of the inning and then we had opportunities later in the game and didn't do anything with it.

I've never seen that before. Sometimes they say things happen in threes, hopefully that's the end of it.
They played better baseball than us. There's no sugarcoating it, ... They deserved to win.
It goes without saying how special a player he is, what he represents in the game. So it was an honor for me that he wanted to take a picture. He wanted to take a picture with me? It was definitely a good feeling.
You try to get on base for him.

In the end, it was fun. I would recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity next time it comes around. It was a fun experience, right up until tonight.
It's going to be weird. He's got that voice that tells you you're in Yankee Stadium. All you have to do is hear his voice and you know where you are.
The Angels are playing as well as any team in baseball. I think it's what people are expecting for it to come down to, the Yankees and Red Sox, but we have our work cut out for both of us.
It's out of our control now. We need some help, any way we can get some help.
