We got to happy, but for us to get into it we got to find ways to win games like that. Finding a way to win it -- that's what is going to get us over the hump. That will make the difference.
For us to get into it, we have to find ways to win games like today. That's the biggest thing for me. Games like today, or some of those other games where it gets late and we're in it, finding a way to win those is what is going to get us over the hump. We have to get that going. Hopefully throughout the season, we'll win those close games.
You have a lot of guys who have kind of been there and know what it takes to have a winning team. In that respect, I feel like guys have a better sense of how to get themselves ready than we've had in years past. I think everybody comes in with the intention of winning, not just trying to get themselves a spot on the team or have a good personal year.
We've reached the point where we need to start being responsible for winning and losing and start moving past the development stage,
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.
That doesn't bother me, someone who has pitched the whole season should win it, not someone who pitched for three months,
I had some time off to rest and haven't had any problems ever since then. It's kind of disappeared this winter so that's nice.
We tried to do everything we could to get back as soon as possible,
Early on, we thought it was going to go faster than it did. It still shows up in X-rays.
Dye's injury was probably the most serious, ... He fouled a ball off his foot in the post-season.
Orlando is probably the best second baseman I've ever played with. Losing somebody like that always stings a little. But, especially in our division, you have to be able to hit.
We had people look at it in Florida right before we left and they said it was muscular so it wasn't really a concern. We felt it was something that would go away. I still felt like I could have gone out and pitched It was close, it never got to the point where it went away. It was just kind of in there nagging.
Even in the spring when they had so many pitchers at an advanced age I wondered about how they would do,
I've always tried to work hard. I'm not trying to show anybody up or do something spectacular for attention.
