defend feeds knowing leader stop team
I know who the leader is on the team, ... I ain't going to say who it is, but I know who it is. I know who the team feeds off. I know who the opposing team comes in knowing they have to defend to stop the Yankees.
believer earlier jason last riding rode staying team year
I'm a big believer in staying with what's hot, ... It isn't about what a person feels, it's about what's working. We're riding Jason right now, where last year they rode me, and earlier this year, we rode A-Rod. That's the way this team is set up.
appreciate bring brought earn free nobody option pick pride remains teams whatever
They brought me in and told me they were probably going to pick the option up. You always want to earn whatever you get. I take a lot pride in that. He didn't have to bring me in today. I appreciate that. When I was a free agent, a lot of teams called and I really didn't answer. There was only one place, and that still remains the same. I don't want to play for nobody else but the Yankees.
starting team
This team is resilient. We don't quit. Now we're starting to come into our own.
anybody bottom care happy kindness plenty services sides teams test trust
I don't want anybody to take my kindness as a weakness. Like I said before, this is where I want to be, but don't test me. It never was a done deal. It was a possibility. I'm happy about that. But there's two sides to that. On one side, I trust you, but don't play me. I don't care who it is, if it's the Boss, if it's him, don't play me. There are plenty of other teams out there that want my services ... that's the bottom line.
baseball business family life played strictly teams yankees
I've played for teams that were family-oriented organizations. They made you feel like family. The Yankees are strictly a business. Baseball is your life and everything else is secondary.
fired guys team trying wind
I know these guys are out of it and trying to be spoilers. I was just trying to get the team as fired up as you can. When a team is out of it, you try to take the wind out of them. But they showed their resiliency.

help hope team wake
I hope I can get out there and help the team that way, because we're a better team when I'm out there, ... Hopefully, one day, I'll wake up and feel better.
both difference guys stronger team
I like to make a difference in both places, ... We are a stronger team if I am on the field. I would like to let the guys who are used to be the DH, be the DH.
anybody change regardless
We know what this is about, regardless of what anybody says. They've had their way with us pretty much this year, and we have to go out and change that in our favor.
capable continue playing
We're playing like we are capable of playing. If we can continue to play like this we'll be fine.
except fame game good hall hear humbling mechanics screwed stay
My mechanics are so screwed up, there's nothing you can really tell me except stay back. Reggie was on me to stay aggressive, stay positive. This is a humbling game and like he said, if it was easy, he'd still be playing. That's good to hear from a Hall of Fame hitter.
season start
It doesn't matter. I look at it like this, the start of the season I'll do what I've always done. That's it.
