We have to win these games. We can't have Tampa come in and win two out of three in our home,
We had our chances. Against a team like Oakland, you start to get a bad feeling if you don't come through. With the mistakes we made and on top of that we had opportunities, but we couldn't capitalize.
Johnny is absolutely tailor-made for New York. He has a great supporting cast, he's a fantastic player and getting better with age. He's the ingredient that we needed.
Jason is going to have a monster year for us.
Last time I was here, things went really bad, not only for me, but for my team. And I look at it as an opportunity to start a new year, a new chapter.

I said it once that I wasn't playing and then at the end I said I was playing. But between that was ... speculation, back and forth, which I thought was ridiculous.

We don't want to put ourselves in the situation we did last year. We put ourselves in way too big of a hole, and it was a miracle that we were able to come back and win the division. We know every loss in April shows up in September and late August.
The 3-2 slider, you really tip your cap. I couldn't believe it was a 3-2 slider. That situation - bases loaded, the runners going - they deserve it.
The accounts weren't looking right so they audited their own accounts.
The amount of taxes I pay this country.
That was a tougher play, mine was an easy play, ... I thought it was actually a base hit.
