game
All in all, it was all right. The disappointment of the game got back real quick.
era gift guy
The guy is a gift from God, ... To be able to get a Cy Young at 42 years old, to have an ERA under two at 43 years old, that's mind-boggling. It's ridiculous, really.
ball couple decisions fast felt good guy hard high job last swung throws
The last one cut. I felt all right the whole at-bat, the whole night, but I swung at a couple of high fastballs. I didn't do a good job of getting the ball down. He's a guy who just comes in and throws hard stuff. With a guy like that, you've got to get it going, because decisions have to be made fast or it's sayonara.

balls bed examined extent good heart heck hospital saw seeing swings threw took videotape
I threw 20 balls and took about 15 swings on videotape and went and saw Dr. Andrews, who was a heck of a trouper for seeing me in his hospital bed after a heart attack. We had a good conversation. He examined me, and that's about the extent of it right now.
anybody barely beat billy gave heck remember tough yankees
If you didn't beat us by the seventh, you weren't going to beat us. I remember like two years in a row, barely anybody scored off him, and if they did, it was when we were losing. Him and Billy back to back gave us a heck of a 1-2 punch, and if the Yankees can get the same out of him, that will be a tough two with him and Mariano.
fans happen imagine sad
It was awesome. I can't imagine the fans being any better than they've been. ... I couldn't have appreciated it any more. It's sad for it to happen like this, but it made me feel that way.
beyond everybody game goes great knows needed single tonight win
It's great for me, but it goes way beyond that, ... It's big for the team. We needed to win this game. Everybody knows how important every single game is, and tonight is no exception.
both gone hurt understand
It's amazing, right down to both being hurt. I understand what he's going through, because I've gone through a lot of the same things. You don't really feel a part of it.
again best chance
It kills me that I can't play now, ... I think the best chance for me to play again is to do the surgery.
difficult easy game situation slow speeds thrust
It's difficult. It's probably the most difficult thing to do in the game. You're just thrust into a situation where the game speeds up real quick. When you play every day, it's easy to slow it down. It's been a difficult adjustment.
nice pay people
It was nice to see people and to pay our respects. There were a lot of people there. It was nice, but how are funerals? They're awful.
basketball finals super
It's like going to the (NBA) Finals in basketball or to the Super Bowl,
basketball finals goal great last super team ultimate win
It's like going to the finals in basketball or to the Super Bowl. You still have to win it. Yeah, it's great to get there, but that's not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to be the last team under the pile.
