ahead far felt guys seemed stuff trouble
I felt all right, not great, ... They battled me pretty hard. I felt like I was getting ahead of them for the most part. I just couldn't put guys away. It seemed like I was in trouble every inning as far as baserunners and stuff like that.

It wasn't great and they battled me pretty hard. I was getting ahead of them for the most part but I just couldn't put guys away.

It seemed like I was in trouble in every inning, but the guys picked me up and played great defense and scored some runs.

I count it an honor to play with some guys that I've watched play on television, and may be in the Hall of Fame some day.

I let the other guys handle the talking. I love playing.

All you can say is, if a guy is tipping pitches, you just hope he and the pitching coach can work on it, look at some video or whatever, and see it, ... before you screw up in a World Series.
climb huge mountain proud seemed series team
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.

We haven't spent time together like we did in New York.

It'd be nice to get a hit every once in a while. But I guess they don't pay me to do that.

I found my change-up again last year, ... I didn't have it for probably my last six or seven years in New York. I didn't have a good change-up that I was using the course of a game. It was nice to be able to find that pitch last year while being hurt.

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

I was surprised we put the runs on him, ... I'm not going to lie to you. He's tough.

Last year, they did it without me. Hopefully, this year I can help us get past this round.
