We're going to get better. We need to know how to win those close games.
fortunate players scoreboard yankees
We're fortunate that the Yankees lost. Everyone is scoreboard watching, the players and the fans.
good loss
We did make a big comeback, but a loss is a loss. We competed and that was good to see because we haven't really come back at all this year.

The only way to get around that is go out there and win. We caught a break and definitely jumped on it.
perfect road time
We need to play better on the road and this is the perfect time to do it.
best extended game great leaving randy ready stretch wish
Worst-case scenario, we would have been only one game up leaving here. Three?s all right. We wish we could have extended it, but Randy pitched a great game, as did Wake. That?s the best Randy?s been all year. He?s getting ready for the stretch drive.
fooling game guys hurt playing whether
So many times, you see guys getting hurt whether they're just fooling around or not playing very hard. For me, I have to keep up with the routine, play like every game may be my last.
glad playing time williams
I'm glad Bernie Williams is back here. He's one of my favorites. He's going to get some playing time out there.
cheers fans heard meant
I heard a lot more cheers than jeers. Regardless, I wanted to do it because these fans meant so much to me.
arm ball concerned feels pain threw throw
There was no pain whatsoever. I loosened up and threw the ball fine. I'm going to go at it the way I have to. If I have to make the throw I'll do it. I'm not too concerned about it. My arm feels good.
breaks maybe ought send
He breaks a lot of my at-bats. Maybe I ought to send him a bill.

It was a weird night. We could have been written off. Now we've got to go out and win some ballgames. Preferably three.

He's our ace now. He's the reason Pedro and Derek Lowe aren't here.
crazy everybody exhibition game march spring
It's just an exhibition game in spring training. I think by now everybody understands what happened. I'm not going to go crazy over one game in March when we play them 19 times during the year.
