Derek is so talented, you know that over the course of a game, he's going to do something dramatic. I've seen it enough times in my career from the other side. He's very, very professional when the game is on the line. |
Derek Jeter picked up the whole team with one swing of the bat. It's definitely going to be much easier for me to sleep. |
During the game, you hear that [garbage], but you know what? They're booing me because I stir their emotions. They loved me, and now they hate me because I'm wearing a Yankee jersey. That's actually a huge compliment, because I matter in this game. I matter to those guys. They wouldn't be booing me if I was a nobody. |
Every day, every night, every pitch -- everything is the most important situation that could come up. It kind of feels like the World Series a little bit. It's going to be amazing. |
Every time we take the field, we feel like we have a chance to win. We just have to do it. We run the table, we're definitely in the playoffs. We just have to show up and play. |
Everyone, when they talk about our team they talk about your offense. Our pitchers are capable of going out there and throwing good games. |
Everyone's excited about playing deep into October, but you can't play deep into October if you don't play well now. |
First of all, what do you guys think about this? Obviously, keep on snapping away. |
For me, this is getting me ready for April 3. Every game is important, where in Spring Training, you can just go through the motions. Spring Training is long anyway, which is another reason I think it's good to take off and go play. |
George Steinbrenner has that policy for a reason, and you have to respect that. |
Going into Yankee Stadium, we expect to win. We know what the job ahead of us is. We need to win as many games as possible. |
Good way to start. Get embarrassed on the first play. |
He breaks a lot of my at-bats. Maybe I ought to send him a bill. |
He can set you up with a changeup, then throw an 88-mph fastball by you. |
He could still be on the phone. |
