care excess cant
You gotta take care of yourself; you cant do anything in excess.
yankees tough chance
I belong a Yankee. I'm really happy that I got the chance to sign a good contract, and really happy that I got the chance to stay with the Yankees. Going elsewhere, I was going to hear the offers, but the Yankees made it really tough.
mistake thinking trying
I think you learn. You learn from your mistakes. You learn from things you do and try to stay away from the negatives in your life. I think I've grown.
yankees forever uniforms
I could never wear another uniform. I will forever be a Yankee.
ball home knows liked pitcher strike
I liked what I saw. He just got a ball up (in the strike zone) on the home run. I know what he can do. He's a ground-ball pitcher and he knows he's got to keep the ball down to be successful.
decided either laid
He just laid into me. Actually, we just collided. It was pretty ugly. It was either through me or around me. He decided to try to go through me.
proud dirt want
I'm very proud of my area around the plate. I don't want anyone messing with my dirt.
kids tough young
It's good to see a kid that young learning how to pitch. He's tough.
