close games rather sooner win
We still need to win some games and try to close this thing out. Hopefully, we can do that sooner rather than later.
winning tennis care
Whatever I do, I love to win. I don't care if it's tennis or ping pong, I'll kill myself to win it.
running winning years
It only took me 21 runs and five years to get a win here.
new-york winning men
Your pitching coach is almost like your spouse. He's someone to go to when you want to gripe and complain. The big thing for me with Mel (Stottlemyre) is that we've been through so much together. He's been through everything I've been through on the mound. He was a Yankee who won twenty games in New York and a Yankee who didn't win twenty games in New York. For me, he's been there and that's what makes a good pitching coach. He's a good man, too.
baseball team winning
You've got to have camaraderie or togetherness on a baseball team if you want to win.
extra games gotten loved three win
We're not down. We're in a situation, you look at it, we've got three games to win one. We'd have loved to have gotten it done (Monday) for sure, but we didn't. We've got to go there, we've got to play hard, we can't make any mistakes, can't give them any extra outs. We've got to make some pitches, and we need to get it done.
club forward huge last next playoffs step taste together took winning year
Last year (2004) we took a big step by winning in the playoffs for the first time. This year was another huge step. We've got a taste of it now. Now it's the same old story, try to keep your club together and look forward to next year.
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.
reason
That wasn't the reason I was so bad.
spent time together
We haven't spent time together like we did in New York.
guess hit nice pay
It'd be nice to get a hit every once in a while. But I guess they don't pay me to do that.
again course found good last nice pitch seven six using year
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.
lying
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a blow.
lie runs surprised
I was surprised we put the runs on him, ... I'm not going to lie to you. He's tough.
