bear given hug love twisted wish
I wish I could have given him a bear hug and twisted his arm, but he's a pretty big guy. Obviously, we would love to have him here.
pitching stays team
They're a team that's going to be very scary. If their pitching stays healthy, they're going to be very, very good.
caught rest shows tense
It was a pretty tense game. Fortunately, we're 1-0 right now. They battled us. It shows you that the rest of the world has caught up to the U.S. in baseball.
deep fighting ours playoffs teams
If we don't play well, we're not going to get to the playoffs and we won't play deep into October. It's ours to lose. There's a lot of teams fighting for spots.
games problem safe short start winning
It's just a problem for the short term. Long term, I'm good. We'll play it safe and start winning games for the Yankees. We know we have to kind of wait, which kind of stinks.
approaches ballplayer baseball billy bit favorite field game guy son success telling time watches
Billy Mueller's my favorite ballplayer. I keep telling my son every time he watches the game to watch this guy. He's a guy who earns every bit of his success out on the baseball field the way he approaches the game, the way he plays, switch-hitting. That's the kind of ballplayer I want my son to be.

I expect him to be on. We need him to be on. There's no way we can get back to Boston down 2-0.

Schill is incredible. He knows how to hit his spots. He looked like he had more hop in his step. He can smell the fact he's going to be starting for us soon.
affair fans help hope love memories red signing terms understand wrong yankees
I hope the fans understand what went wrong in terms of signing with the Red Sox. Nothing will take away from my memories and the love affair I had with the city. But I really don't care, I just want to help the Yankees win.
credit people team
I don't think too many people give us credit because of that Dominican team. The U.S. team will be well represented.
days game hits hopefully runs team understand wins wish
I wish I had more hits and runs and more wins for this team. It comes in time. I understand it's a game and some are going to be better than others. Hopefully for this team there's a lot of better days to come.
forward looking means talked
It's the one thing in my off-season I was really looking forward to. We've talked before, but to see him as a Yankee, it means a lot to me.
definitely easier picked swing team
Derek Jeter picked up the whole team with one swing of the bat. It's definitely going to be much easier for me to sleep.
