What changed me about coming here was the chance to win. That's basically the main reason behind my decision, the chance to win and compete.
That was one of the strangest games I've ever seen. How did we not win?
Up 6-1 and coming in the eighth, I felt that we were going back to Atlanta (for Game Five), ... But they battled hard.
I didn't really have a lot of options. I wanted to sign with the Cubs, but I knew I had to prove myself. That was a big year for me.
He's just pretty much left me alone and let me do my thing,
There's not much attention given to the grunts in the middle, ... I've been looking forward to doing this for a while now, and I'm having fun doing it.
It would have been perfect there, but it was just one of those things. I didn't have any bad thoughts. To me, the Yankees were the best team out there.
Five outs away. Can't really do anything about that one. That was a snowball going straight down.
I wasn't much of a pitcher. I had a live arm, that was about it.
I'm ready for it. The easy thing would have been to stay with the Braves, it was so close to home. But I wanted to be here in this atmosphere.
I loved that kind of discipline. It would've suited me well if I didn't play baseball.
It's a game of inches, and he hit it over the fence. It's one of them things. We battled. The best team won. If it's another foot to the left, it's a double.
I told Bobby, 'If you need me to go two innings, I can go two,' ... He did what he had to do. It's one of those things. It happens.
It's going to be a good, new start. Being part of the Yankees, being around all of these superstars in this environment, I can't wait.
