muscles runs yankees
Well, the Yankees flexed their muscles today. Put 10 runs up in the first two innings, and that was that. Only one game; still have two to go.
forget home run
That's what I like to look at. Forget the home run balls. They're going to come because you're strong.

Twenty home runs in a half season is pretty darn good.

base beat bit came caught fair fell field game grass guy happened hard home matter mound runs score truth
The guy (pitcher Jarrod Washburn ) fell ... it's a base hit. They scored it right the first time. We just happened to score two runs and (the Angels) probably complained after the game in their home park, but what's fair is fair. And the truth of the matter is the guy came off the mound hard to field a bunt, his spikes got caught a little bit on the grass and he slid, and C.C. had the play beat once that happened.

basically happens hoping regrets rest somebody
I was hoping that we could do basically what we did over in Seattle. It didn't happen, but it's on the right path. Somebody else can take over and take it the rest of the way. I've got no regrets about what happens now.
bother humble instead kick next putting sudden win
It doesn't bother me, but I get a kick out of it, because now, you're putting expectations on yourself for no reason, ... Just go out there and play, and play hard, have fun, win a ballgame, be humble about it and go out and try to do it the next day again, instead of having that bravado. All of a sudden you've got to back up bravado. You don't have to back up humility.
good guys trying
I think he's just trying to make our guys confident. It's a good ploy.
curtail fan field happening hate playing type
I think it will probably curtail that type of thing from happening at other ballparks. It'll keep the playing field safer, which is a concern. You hate to see a fan penalized, but what are you going to do?
