It was strange how similar his injury and mine were,
It stopped a big inning. It kept us in striking distance and gave us a chance to pile up some runs.
It's been good clubhouse-wise and that always helps. Later on we'll get everyone in there in the same lineup and it will be fun.
I tried to field it. Fortunately, Russ made a great play. I was just trying to get an out.
I threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time. I felt great, there were no problems out there today at all, and I feel good about the arm and should be able to go longer next time out.
We're kind of at the point where we're starting to get over that rebuilding ... so it's time we started getting it done, getting ourselves into the playoffs.
They got in there and kind of loosened it up. I feel like it's kind of over and done with.
They had some good ideas to start the whole thing, so we had to come back with something. I think we've put an end to it.
There's a lot of interesting stuff in there.
At any point against this team, if they have guys on base, it's a big at-bat. Regardless of how many runs (the lead is), those are big outs for you. You try everything you can against him. You can't get a guy like that out the same way every time. You kind of have to come up with new things and keep him guessing. It's always a challenge.
The way Randy Johnson pitched his last time out was a good sign for New York. I've got to give the Yankees the edge in the wild card, Boston is better suited to win the division.
I think you always want to have more pitching. There's a lot of things to fill and you have to kind of prioritize and I think pitching always wins.
I think we have the makings of it. Those are two teams (Yankees and Red Sox) that will go out and always try to add on, even during the course of a season. We have to do a good job getting ourselves going early. We have a lot of things here to make a push. If we stay healthy, we're going to end up where we want to be.
J.P. wants to win. When you have a GM like that who isn't willing to settle for finishing third every year it causes a lot of changes. Last year we did the best we could to get in it and stay in it but it's nice to see that after the year we had, the first half we had, it still wasn't good enough, that we wanted to get better.
