chance kept reason win
Jaret Wright's the reason why we had a chance to win tonight. He kept his composure.
anytime guy missing piece team throws
He's a big part of this team offensively. Every guy in this lineup is an All-Star, and anytime you're missing that big a piece of the puzzle, especially the way we've kind of got it going offensively, it kind of throws you off a little bit.
came throwing
That was huge, especially with them throwing up a four-spot in the first, ... This is a big win for us, especially with the way we came back.
definitely doubt good
That was a gift, no doubt about it, ... As good as his knuckleball was today, that was definitely a gift.
stadium yankee
That was a Yankee Stadium homer, for sure,
fifth game pitch pitcher pitches run starting theory throw
That was our big theory when I was with Oakland. Run up the guy's pitch counts, 'cause then you get the starting pitcher out of the game in the fifth inning. You're making him throw 100 pitches and he's gone.
gets gives opportunity player run scores
That's what he does best. That's what makes him the player that he is: He gets on base. He scores runs. He gives you an opportunity to score a run when he gets on.

That's the way this team works. We score a lot of runs in one inning because we work pitchers and work walks and eventually there is no room to put anybody else.

mistake player should-have
What we should have done a long time ago was stand up - players, ownership, everybody - and said: 'We made a mistake.'
baseball running home
Unfortunately, (the rumors) are going to be a part of it. But that's OK. I'm probably tested more than anybody else. I'm not hiding anything. That stuff didn't help me hit home runs. I don't care what people say, nothing is going to give you that gift of hitting a baseball.
should-have topics gone
We should have apologized back then and made sure we had a rule in place and gone forward. ... Steroids and all of that was a part of history. But it was a topic that everybody wanted to avoid. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
player play kind
As a younger player, you always kind of play with that fear of failure.
fun house exciting
I had fun coming every day and playing in front of a packed house - it was exciting.
