I don't want the headache of running a foundation. I'm not in it for the tax breaks or the marketing benefits.
I don't know why it happened the way it happened tonight.
I am happy for Doug. I'm disappointed in a selfish way for myself, but you have to look at the future for Doug, and he's going to get a chance to play every day in San Diego and do some good things for his family.
Obviously the Yankees lineup is one of the best in the American League. But I think if we pitch the way we're able to pitch and play defense, I think we can beat them like we have in years past.
My approach is going to be the same as it was with any other team during the years. I have to be able to throw strikes and try to get outs, as many outs as I can get. We'll see what happens ...
I felt good. I got some work in and got my pitch count up a little higher than I did last time. I think Josh Bard did a great job back there.
To hold onto Manny's bat in the lineup, I'm glad he decided to stay.
You hate to put your team down that much early, but I can't say enough about our offence. I am fortunate to be pitching on the right days when they have been scoring all those runs.

With Damon and Millar, all of us had such a good time even when we were stretching. Now it's a little quieter, but we don't even know our teammates yet.
We would have liked to win the division, ... but we're in. That's all that matters.
We've been on the other side of this. . . . You really have to sweep a series to gain any ground. Leaving here five up would have been nice, but we're up three and we've got other games to play.
It's not like we're that far behind. We have to play good in Baltimore, and go back home and play great at home.
It's so easy to be thankful when you're on top of your game and everything is going right. But when I gave up the home run to Aaron, I had to be thankful for that, too. It may have been God's plan to make me stronger for 2004.
