The bottom line is we didn't get it done,
The bottom line is it's never over until the last out. If you've done something before, you always think you can do it again.
As of now, as a team and as an organization, we can't think about Rocket. He hasn't made up his mind. Let him decide first. We need to focus on the guys that we have now. We have a great pitching staff.
Don't get it wrong ? both teams are capable of pitching well. The atmosphere makes it special, makes it fun.
Another one of those sit around and figure out the scenarios. That's about all you can say. We had our chances right from the first inning. We just didn't get any hits with guys on base. I'm well aware of what it takes to win. We just didn't do it.
No team wants other teams to come in and beat them. They know that we're in a race, and they're playing for pride as well, so we've got to be ready for them. We've got to win. That's it.
They boo us now (at Yankee Stadium) if we?re not playing well.
It's always easier to hit when it's a low-scoring game and your pitcher is doing the job. It all starts with pitching. Our offense got so much publicity early on, but pitching is the most important thing.
It's an opportunity to try and expand the game globally. I think there's going to be a lot of interest, especially in some of the countries that haven't come over to play before. I think it's great for the game.
It's going to be weird. He's got that voice that tells you you're in Yankee Stadium. All you have to do is hear his voice and you know where you are.
It's going to be weird. He has that voice that tells you it's Yankee Stadium. You don't have to see what's going on. All you have to do is hear that voice. Every time he introduces your name, that voice -- it's something that never gets old.
It's gonna be weird. No question. He's got that voice that tells you that it's Yankee Stadium.
It's easy to play when you score 15 runs with Randy Johnson pitching. But it'll take a while to find out how good we really are. But I like what I see so far.
I've been with Mo for 14 years, so I've seen everything he's done. It's mind-boggling to look at how consistent he has been over the years. He is one of the main reasons for the success of this organization.
