It's up to us. For a while, I thought it was out of reach and I was just thinking about the wild card, but the White Sox have fallen apart lately. We've got to play them six times. It's possible.
If I had to say who our rival was going into last year, I'd say the Twins. They had won the division and were the team to beat. Now the White Sox won the division, so they're the team to beat. We want to knock them out of first.
We're going to price according to what the market dictates.
We wanted to win this series and we got that done. To get out ahead of that team for the first time in a long time, that's a good thing.
It doesn't appear the commission went far enough in recognizing the intensely competitive market in New York for telecommunications. But it appears to be a step in the right direction.
I think he's got me a little bit. I'd have to throw two shutouts in a row. I think he's done a great job all year, and if I had to pick one right now, it would be him.
Mostly, I was throwing fastballs and locating them.
New York is probably one of the most competitive markets in the country.
It's time for me to stop talking about it and focus on pitching. I hope to be around here a long time. I want to be around here a long time and they want me around here.
They beat us every way possible -- hitting, pitching and defense.
It's still in our hands. It's just going to be a little tougher.
To get off to a good start and put them behind us for the first time in a long time is a good thing. They got up on us last year and never looked back. Hopefully we can do some of that this year.
To keep them to one run in six innings, that's pretty good. I'll take that.
They finally caught up with me that inning. I felt I was still making my pitches, but they kept fighting pitches off.
