alex best choosing class excited field final honor players pumped team
I was excited when they told me that I was on the final roster. It is an honor to be on the field with some of the game's best players. I'm pumped up that those choosing the team put me in the same class as players like Clemens, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
best chance guys hit might nice spot tough turn wish
That's a tough spot to put yourself into, with one of the best RBI guys ever. I wish he would have hit it a little harder. We might have had a chance to turn two. But Figgins made a nice play just to get the one out and keep it a one-run game.
best hits home strange wish work
It's going to be a little strange to see him in another uniform. It hits home right there that it's a business. He put in a lot of work for this team, so you wish him all the best but not on Wednesday.

There are a few guys around here who think he is the best hitter we face. And I'm one of them. I have no clue how to get him out. Every ball he hits, he hits hard.

It is always real good pitching and real good defense. There are pretty good pitchers on both teams. It is good baseball and it is fun to play against them.

My walk really killed us, ... I didn't hit my spots with Posada and that really hurt me, putting Cano on second.

I was pumped. It is an honor to be on the same team with the rest of those players.
wish
I wish we could go out there and play again, ... I wish this was a doubleheader.
coming far sit tough week
You know, it's been a pretty tough week on us with the schedule, but it's something that we like. We like to travel, especially coming out here, and we're still playing. As far as a much-needed day off, I think most of us are going to just sit around and rest.
I'm going to be smart. This is my team. If I'm not 100 percent, I'm going to let them know.
beat hit home
I'm different than a lot of pitchers. He hit a game-winning home run. Hey, you beat me. You can do what you want.
game head hit left middle mistake paid plate win
I left that one over the middle of the plate and he hit it real far. I can't let him win the game like that. I made a mistake and paid for it. I want to get back out there (tonight) to keep my head up.
