easily great huge team turned
It was huge for us. They've got a great team over there, and we could have easily turned this thing into a disaster.
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.
bit great love
I love being in that spot, and it's great to come through. Hopefully, this will get us going and get us on a little bit of a tear.
great love
I love being in that spot, and it's always great to come through,
game great heart kid people players prove realize seen special takes triple whatever
People don't realize this game is not fair. I've seen some great players who, for whatever reason, never got the opportunity. To keep going back to Triple A, when you know in your heart you have nothing to prove there, it takes a special kid to do that.
fun great
It's great to contribute, a whole lot of fun,
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.
fit games good great knows loves needs
He loves the city. He's got that mentality. He knows what he needs to do. He has a good time. But he's pitched some great games at the right time. I think he would fit in well.
enjoy everybody fun great hair johnny sees
Everybody sees Johnny Damon for long hair and the beard, but he's a great, great teammate. He's fun to play with. He'll be fun for this team. I think they'll really enjoy having Johnny around.
moved
It's over and done with, and I've moved on,
doubt far takes
He's always been our guy. We're going to go as far as he takes us, no doubt about it.
grinding hard work
It's been a lot of hard work and a lot of grinding it out.
head hit knew last since spring strung training work year
I was all over the place then. I had been hit (by a pitch) in the head and had been doing so much work since spring training to try and make up for last year that I was just strung out. But I knew it would change.
