We have a lot to be proud of so far this season. It's not just about being right there with teams like the Yankees and A's. It's about what we've developed into.
against baseball beating boston everybody good job means playing sets standard team tremendous wins yankees
It would be sweeter, ... Everybody would like to see the Yankees not make the postseason one year. If Boston wins that division, and we do our job by beating the Yankees, it would be a tremendous thing. It means we're playing good baseball against a team that sets the standard for good baseball.
