good great
One of them was away and up, the other one was down and in, ... I thought they were good calls. I thought he did a great job.
guess strike surprised
I was really surprised he wasn't bunting, ... especially after we got strike one on him. I guess he's their cleanup hitter, so they let him swing, but I would have bunted.
One-oh is important, ... but we have a long way to go.

Randy is Randy and his power is incredible. But Wang has the best stuff in our clubhouse, no doubt. He'll be our No. 1 pitcher eventually.

There will never be another Mariano Rivera. He was a friend and a champion of a teammate. He really cared about the game of baseball, the way it was played, and whatever it took to win that night.

Hey. We've got a long way to go.
