And I don't know about the whole lack of playing together. It's still baseball, still a team game, but individuals have to do their jobs.
I don't have to sell Rocket on playing in New York. He's had success here and he enjoyed his time here.
Everyone here has been fighting for a while. We've been playing well for a couple of months. Hopefully we'll go out there tomorrow night and play good.
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.
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.

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.
They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
He's that way in the dugout during games,
(The fans) were with him until he got picked off second.
They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for most teams.
You can't take any more time. Adams gets down the line pretty good. He hit it slow; a high chopper. There was no time to flip to Robbie.
I've been lying to you guys for a long time, saying I wasn't nervous and there's no pressure. There was a lot of pressure to do it here.
