Last year was the toughest year of my whole career. I feel a lot more comfortable in New York this year.

Loved it. It was well organized. Just meeting the kind of players you get to play with [was fun]. It's just a neat experience.
|
Mo has been great all year, ... We can't expect him to be perfect for six months.
|
Mo makes the perfect pitch, shatters the guy's bat in 25 pieces, and he hits it into right field. The whole complexion of that inning changes when the strike [on Castillo] wasn't called.

Most people aren't going to understand that. They're going to ridicule and make fun of it ... unless you understand my background, where I come from, my passion for my family and my heritage. I don't expect anyone to understand.

Mr. Steinbrenner has a beef. I understand, with the commitment he has.
|
No. I haven't heard anything. There's so much positive talk going around ... I've heard about zero talk.

Now that you're back and you're counting down to Opening Day, it's more of a clear thought process of what's going on.
|
Now we can go and try to win in New York, and try to go to the next level.

Obviously, October is something I need to improve on this year. Winning a World Series, that drives me to the core.

October is what I need to improve upon. But you can't think about October on Opening Day, you have to think about the present war.

Once the ball was thrown away, we thought, 'O.K., let's take advantage of it,'
|
Only two runs ahead, you'd go out there trying to hit corners. But with a three-run lead, I don't want to walk people. I tried to get ahead in the count, and I left a pitch right down the middle for [Posada].
|
Our offense is very capable. We'll come out fighting tomorrow.
|
Our state of mind right now is that we're feeling good about where we are going. We're playing with a lot of urgency right now. We're playing with a lot of grit.
