Every game they pitch, ... we know is an opportunity to win.
Every game out was like a bigger game for him, ... and he got better and better.
We've been playing well. This part of the season, it's just like in the playoffs. Every game you play is a big game.
We've been playing important games for the last month or so now. It doesn't matter whether we're home or on the road.
We've been playing good for a while. Hopefully, we can continue to do it when we get home.
We had some opportunities to score early and we let Boomer off the hook.
Two-out hits are pretty clutch, ... You have to find a way to come through in those situations.
We had our opportunities. We were in it until the last inning. We put pressure on them.
I've found that it's easier to stay in shape than it is to get into shape.
Don't get me wrong; it's not like I didn't go out and have fun. But there's been a lot of players that come to New York and get caught up in the lifestyle, and before you know it, they're sent away to another team because it affected their performance.
I'd like to get a degree. You ever see the movie 'Back to School?' I'll go back with my kids.
My dreams do not end with playing Major League Baseball.
Sometimes people complicate things by thinking too much about what someone might think of what they said or did.
I'm not a hermit, but I definitely stay in a lot more than I used to. There's more attention now then there ever was. You walk down the street with someone and it's a story. It becomes national news, you know what I mean? So, I still do things, but I stay home a lot more.
