I guess I was due then. Every time is a different situation. Those are big ... you've got to find ways to come through. Those are situations you have to come through because two-out hits are pretty clutch.
It doesn't matter, ... Every situation is a new situation.
Another one of those sit around and figure out the scenarios. That's about all you can say. We had our chances right from the first inning. We just didn't get any hits with guys on base. I'm well aware of what it takes to win. We just didn't do it.
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.
Their bullpen is pretty good. Any guy they throw out there doesn't put you in an ideal situation as a hitter.
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.
I've been with Mo for 14 years. It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been all these years. I don't think anything he does amazes me anymore.
The feeling is that it's over. It doesn't always happen, but that's the feeling you have. Mo has been automatic for a while.
It's something that happened two or three months ago, ... It really wasn't a big deal, so I don't know why it's a big issue today.
