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.
I think the focus is on the team. I think a nice side note behind that is, obviously, the MVP race, ... No question, front and center right now is the Yankees vs. Boston.
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.
A nice little bruise. It should be OK.
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.
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.
It was nice the way we responded today.
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.

We've got to come out and play well and figure it out. There's no time to waste.
We've got to collect wins. They have a great cushion over there and we don't.
We've just got to get better. We've got to get better.
