We've got to collect wins. They have a great cushion over there and we don't.
Mo has been great all year, ... We can't expect him to be perfect for six months.
I would enjoy that. I think it would be great for both of us.
I think Randy is going to have a great year because he's in a great state of mind, has had a wonderful spring, and, I know from experience that in Year 2, the comfort level should be a lot better for him. I know it was for me.
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.
There are so many players from so many teams, I think we do have the responsibility to show that we're the greatest country as far as baseball is concerned. We'll lace 'em up and see what happens.
We played so well down the stretch, ... To end in this fashion, it's disappointing. I played great baseball this year, and I played like a dog the last five games.
I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.
It would be a great privilege, ... I think this is the year that anything's possible, because I don't think there's one runaway guy.

I played great baseball for a year, ... I played like a dog for five games.
I played great baseball all year, ... and I played like a dog the last five days.
I'm very close with Gary and I love Gary, and Gary's a great teammate. We'll leave it at that.
