You can't please everyone. I think it's good to think about the long term. Pitching and defense is what wins.
I loved that kind of discipline. It would've suited me well if I didn't play baseball.
I'm ready for it. The easy thing would have been to stay with the Braves, it was so close to home. But I wanted to be here in this atmosphere.
It was a great game today. It was just a matter of whoever got the best break to win it in the end.
I told Bobby, 'If you need me to go two innings, I can go two,' ... He did what he had to do. It's one of those things. It happens.
Five outs away. Can't really do anything about that one. That was a snowball going straight down.
What changed me about coming here was the chance to win. That's basically the main reason behind my decision, the chance to win and compete.
There's not much attention given to the grunts in the middle, ... I've been looking forward to doing this for a while now, and I'm having fun doing it.
It would have been perfect there, but it was just one of those things. I didn't have any bad thoughts. To me, the Yankees were the best team out there.
I didn't really have a lot of options. I wanted to sign with the Cubs, but I knew I had to prove myself. That was a big year for me.
At least it's Atlanta, my hometown. I'm excited about that. I've always wanted to play for them. I hate leaving here. At least I'm going to Atlanta. They're in first place and contention.
It's going to be a good, new start. Being part of the Yankees, being around all of these superstars in this environment, I can't wait.
It's a game of inches, and he hit it over the fence. It's one of them things. We battled. The best team won. If it's another foot to the left, it's a double.
Up 6-1 and coming in the eighth, I felt that we were going back to Atlanta (for Game Five), ... But they battled hard.
