Maybe the pitch count was up there, ... But I work hard every time I'm going there. What can I say? It was a good one.
It was good to be in consideration. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want to win it.
We'll see what happens. Hopefully this year I'll do a good job. I don't want to go ahead.
I always have confidence, ... It's big. It's good to win.
I'm feeling real good. That's a good thing.
I'm prepared to do anything that's necessary to help us win, ... even if it means pitching every day from here on out. I'm not feeling tired. I take good care of myself. I know it's not probable but I will do my best.
I've seen it for years. That doesn't surprise me at all.
It would be something nice, but I don't think about it, ... I just go out and try to help the team. But if it happened, it would be nice.
I wanted it to be out. When he caught the ball and tagged him above the waist, I think he might have been able to sneak in there.
I wanted to be in there and face Ortiz.
Every day I come to the ballpark, I thank God that I'm wearing this uniform, for giving me the opportunity to be successful and last that long. To pitch that long and do it good, for the New York Yankees. It's great.

You always want to represent your country, but I wouldn't be ready.
We have to play Baltimore first, so we have to focus on them. And when the time comes, then we'll focus on Boston.
