That will never end. Maybe when I retire it will stop. I use it as a motivation.
That's the only reason I play baseball. It's what I'm consumed to do right now.
He only performed for about 40 minutes. It could have been longer, but it was still a good performance.
I don't see it as a big deal at all, ... I look at it as a new challenge. I won two Gold Gloves and an MVP at shortstop. I thought I achieved just about everything personally at shortstop. Now it's time to win. I've always thought of myself as a team player. Playing third base is the ultimate team move.
I don't want to talk about it, so many good things happened tonight. It feels like I got stung pretty good.
He's not in awe of anything or anyone. He's very respectful, but he's been around us for a while now. He feels comfortable, and that's half the battle of being successful here -- knowing these are your peers and if you can hang with them in a social setting, the rest of it follows naturally.
He's incredible. I was telling (Derek) Jeter on the bench what a great hitter he is, even on one leg.
I couldn't be more proud of guys like Derek Jeter, Sheffield, Matsui. They absolutely played incredible. Randy Johnson came back with a warrior-type performance today. Unfortunately, guys like myself didn't contribute. This team has a lot of potential, and we'll be back.
I couldn't believe it ? a 3-2 slider. In that situation, bases loaded, runners are going. They deserve it.
Along with Randy Johnson, he's been the biggest difference between last year's team and this year's team.
The home run was a huge point in the game, because Cabrera had us dazzled for five or six innings,
The focus is on the team. A nice side note behind that is, obviously, the MVP race. Front and center right now is the Yankees vs. Boston.
If he's safe, the game is tied. That's more exciting than a walk-off grand slam. I love it.
I certainly would trade his World Series championship for this MVP trophy,
