We would have liked to be 9-5 or better. But it's certainly felt like an extended spring training (being away). It's going to be nice to be coming home.
It was nice the way we responded today.
It's nice to get your hits, but at the same time, it's more important to get good at-bats. Get good tracking and really get yourself prepared for opening day.
We (Derek Jeter and I) want to kill each other. I think we both drive each other and motivate each other. But, when we're off the field, we're like family. I think the nice thing about it is we became good friends before we even mad it to the big leagues. That makes it more of a healthy relationship.
There is a difference between image and reputation. Image is nice. Reputation is developed over an entire career. Reputation is what I'm searching for.
This kind of makes a statement about the quality of our programs in the area. It's going to be a nice rivalry next year.
A nice little bruise. It should be OK.

We were like desperate animals trying to survive, and animals are most dangerous when they are in a snare.
We win and lose as a team ... I'm as proud of these guys ... We left our guts on the field.
I've never seen Matsui ever make a mistake. That's the weirdest thing.
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.
