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.
developed far proud teams yankees
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.
chicago last pitching seldom slug team white wins york
The pitching is a big core. You look at the Chicago White Sox, what they did last year, the New York Yankees, when they were in their heyday, they had pitching and that's what wins championships. You're very seldom going to slug it out with a team in the playoffs.
blowing definitely great team today
It was a great battle. You definitely didn't want to let the team down today by going out there and blowing the game.
guys stepping team
It's been a team effort. Guys have been stepping up all year.
bay beating chicago everybody last scenario season seven tampa teams
There were two teams that manhandled us last year, Chicago and Tampa Bay. It was just the worst-case scenario that we had to play them seven times at the end of the season when we were right in the race. Any other team, we probably would have been there. We were beating everybody else, but for some reason, Tampa Bay had our number, and so did Chicago.
almost beginning came chicago everybody fell last lost quick says stick team tough worry year
Hopefully, we'll be the team getting off to a quick start. If we're not the team getting off to a quick start, hopefully, we can stick with them. Last year, Chicago was just too tough at the beginning of the year and they just lost everybody else. We almost came back, but it fell short. Everyone says don't worry about the beginning of the season, but it is a key.
aspects bullpen hitters starts team
Their durability is impressive. All aspects of this team are getting it done. The hitters have come on strong, the bullpen has been solid. But it all starts right out there with the starters.
sad seasons
The sad thing, ... is seasons like this don't come around every year. You never know when you will get another shot.
came ended game guys proud
We ended like we started. We came up one game short. But the guys should be very proud of what they've accomplished.
behind family
If I was in the same situation, my family would come first also. We're all behind him.
good limit people sky understand
I don't know about the people who didn't understand what (Shapiro) was doing back then, but they should understand now. This is a very good team. The sky is the limit with this group.
last people
I didn't get too many people out in that first one here last year.
pitch
I was going with a strikeout pitch every time.
