concern concerned fine hardest leg swelling
The hardest part was getting my leg up the day that I pitched because of the swelling and stuff, ... I was able to do that (Friday), so I feel a lot better. There's no concern at all. I really wasn't concerned on making my start. I'll be fine for my start.

It's special. You work all year to make it reality and get to the playoffs.
coming early easy feeling games momentum roy strike sure three won
It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be easy coming back here. We'd won three games in a row, and we were one strike away. I'm sure they had to be feeling down, and now they have to be feeling great. But if we come out early and take some of their momentum away, and we get Roy going the way he can pitch, everything will be OK.

This team reminds me of my early days in New York,

That one will stay real close to me, ... I remember that one like it was yesterday just because of being so young. It was a special moment in my career.

It was a little different for me here, because this just seemed like such a huge mountain to climb to be able to get to the World Series with the team that we have. I'm proud of the guys.

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a blow.
