I assume the adrenaline will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.
He's been huge. I think the thing with Chacon is he's not intimidated by anything, ... It seems like he has all the confidence in the world.
Any way you can get it done now. Robbie put down a good bunt to get the runners over. It seems like every at-bat is important at this point in the year.
Just because you've seen a guy doesn't mean you're going to get hits off him the next time. He seemed to bear down when guys got on base, and when he got ahead, he threw that split.
He's got that demeanor where he's just having fun, it seems like. Sort of like Soriano a little bit in that sense. He's always smiling, having a good time. He doesn't seem to be affected.
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.
You're going to win more games with pitching than you are with offense. Our pitching staff seems to have settled in pretty good. They're throwing the ball well.
They're all special. It seems like the season hasn't really officially started until we play our home opener.
Even in the minors or at the All-Star game, you're still part of the Yankees. It's going to seem weird to put on another uniform and play for another team. It's a new situation for me but I'm looking forward to it.
I assume the Adrenalin will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.
It was like old times, aside from the color of the uniform. It seems like he never left. It was very familiar.
He's always tough. It seems like his knuckleball gets tougher every time we face him.
They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
He's that way in the dugout during games,
