team careers yankees
When my Yankee career is over I'll play anywhere, but I'm positive that I'll never find a team quite like the Yankees.
experience might team year
This year might be more of a challenge, every day, with different roles. I think I have enough experience with this team that I can help.
came casual credit fans front game halfway interested left matter office people seventh team winning
It's not a casual thing for the fans here anymore. Before, people came halfway through the game and left by the seventh inning, no matter the score. It's a credit to the front office that they have put a winning team on the field, and the people are interested in what happens.
return teams
It is weird. You know going in, that this isn't going to last. In a little while, we'll return to our teams and it'll be back to normal.
aside benefit goals good looking nice personal picture putting team win
Very exciting. But I think this team has been very good on putting personal goals aside for the benefit of the team, and I think this should be no different. I think my goal right now is just to play as good as I can so we can win the series. This is a nice note, but still, we're looking at the big picture here.
couple face good help red teammate
He has been with other teams, too, so it's not like he was the face of the Red Sox. He had a couple good years with them and he's our teammate now. He's going to help us a lot.
challenges definitely rise
Every year, we go through challenges. With my dad, it was what I was going through. As a professional player, you have to rise above, you can't use it as an excuse. It was definitely on my mind, but I wouldn't put it as a reason. I just didn't hit.
finish future great personal worry
Right now, we have more important things to worry about than my personal future, ... My future will be determined, in a great way, by how we finish the season.
business trying
We went out there trying hard. Unfortunately, we're not in the business of trying. We're in the business of doing.
angry body respond supposed
I used to get angry at my body when I was younger, when it was supposed to respond to every command, but now I don't,
ice win
We had to win the first game. This was the ice breaker.
That's what I have to live with, man.
appreciate disturb great joe looked protocol sort sure trying within
I was trying to make sure I was within protocol within the team, and trying not to disturb anybody. They were not going to stop, so I sort of looked at Joe and said, 'Can I do this?' and he said, 'Yes.' It was a great moment, and I appreciate it a lot.

I was trying to make sure I was within protocol.
