When people come here, there's Joe Torre and there's Derek Jeter. You have to respect who the leader of the team is, and here it's Derek Jeter.
It's the only way we know right now.

It's tough to win, man, it really is. It's really tough to put it into words. Back then, we were the team to beat. I think we were still, this year. It just didn't happen.

It looks like we are. I can't remember the last time we threw the leather around like we did today. The pitching is stepping up, and today the defense did the same. We understand what we need to do.
It's a new season. Right now everybody's hot.

Wang really battled. He gave us a chance to win, which is all we can ask of him. He's getting better every time out there.
We play baseball. That's the only thing we know how to do.

We pretty much tried everything. We were wild today, guys coming in from the pen. Those guys have a very good lineup and they understand the strike zone. If you only have one pitch, they're going to attack that pitch.
