It looked like some people might have been scared. It's something I think everyone will remember.
It's hard for me to compare myself to Wright because it's two different situations. One of the biggest things for me was that we went to the World Series right away. That was a really big deal. If the team wins, everybody benefits.
It's an honor to represent Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. I'm excited to promote international baseball and it's terrific that gamers who pick up Major League Baseball 2K6 will be able to experience the same excitement of the World Baseball Classic.
This will not be Bernie Williams' last game in Yankee Stadium.
We're helpless now. There's nothing you can do. We just wait to see what happens. But we put ourselves in that position.
We wrapped up our division at the All-Star break,
We're familiar with them and they're familiar with us, so the best team over the next five games will win.
We know we can't rely on scoring all those runs. We know it's great to have some guys that are swinging the bats well, and we're going to score. But it's not going to happen all season.
Wakefield was probably as good as I've seen him. His ball was moving all over the place. We could have been out there for another three hours and I don't think we'd have gotten any more hits off him.
We've won it before, and anything short of that is failure. You don't work the whole off-season, spring training and six months of games to finish second or third. If you don't win, you should feel it's a failure.
We have no excuses. We got all the breaks to get to this point. We had our chance.
I always try to take from past performances. You never try to get too high or too low. Just play every game, just treat every game like it's the same.
I just think that your private life is private. What I do is obviously public, I get that. I get the fact that people are interested. I'm interested in a lot of people as well. I've just chosen to stay as private as possible.
Sneak out when things go good. It bothers me when people have good games and stand in front of their locker waiting for the media, then they have bad games and sneak out the back.
