drag father mean moved pathetic sad sell
I think it's pretty pathetic they want to drag my father into this. I've moved on. I mean that's just sad that someone would try and do that to sell a book.
drag father pathetic tried
I think it's pretty pathetic that they tried to drag my father into it.
chance kept reason win
Jaret Wright's the reason why we had a chance to win tonight. He kept his composure.
few swings walks worried
We don't get worried when we're behind. We know we're only a few walks and a few swings from being back in the ballgame.
course homer johnny runs score scratch sit wait win
Over the course of the season, you're not going to score 10 runs every night. You need to win the 2-1 games, too, and we're not going to have to sit back and wait for a big homer to win a game. We can scratch and claw with Johnny and Derek up top, which is important.
andy good gotten great
I still get bored, but I don't mind. I've never been very good at it. It's good for me to sometimes get some rest, though. It's gotten Andy some at-bats, which is good, because he's a great player.
bad best career great harder helped win wins
I think he was harder on himself. He wanted to come in here and win 25 games. He battled for us, and even when he didn't have his best stuff, he helped us win. You know you've had a great career when 17 wins is a bad year.
batting encouraged encouragement excited few friend good great guy hitter include johnny last natural next places preferred presence return sign spoke strongly teammate week whose year
Johnny and I spoke a few times over the last week and I strongly encouraged him to sign with the Yankees. It is good to know that our lineup next year will include a natural leadoff hitter whose presence allows Jeter and A-Rod to return to their preferred places in the batting order. Johnny is a good friend and a great guy to have in the clubhouse. I am very excited about having him as a teammate again.
cheating
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught.
break hit open seem
We just couldn't seem to get the big hit to break open games.
stadium yankee
That was a Yankee Stadium homer, for sure,
fifth game pitch pitcher pitches run starting theory throw
That was our big theory when I was with Oakland. Run up the guy's pitch counts, 'cause then you get the starting pitcher out of the game in the fifth inning. You're making him throw 100 pitches and he's gone.
gets gives opportunity player run scores
That's what he does best. That's what makes him the player that he is: He gets on base. He scores runs. He gives you an opportunity to score a run when he gets on.
anybody eventually pitchers room runs score team walks work
That's the way this team works. We score a lot of runs in one inning because we work pitchers and work walks and eventually there is no room to put anybody else.
