Very exciting. But I think this team has been very good on putting personal goals aside for the benefit of the team, and I think this should be no different. I think my goal right now is just to play as good as I can so we can win the series. This is a nice note, but still, we're looking at the big picture here. |
We are making our push. We are obviously trying to catch up for the shaky start we had. |
We had to win the first game. This was the ice breaker. |
We went out there trying hard. Unfortunately, we're not in the business of trying. We're in the business of doing. |
We're making our push. We seem to have every aspect of our game going for us right now. |

When he needs a break, I'm going to go out there and try to do the best that I can. Hopefully it won't be too much of a downgrade. I'll be ready to play. |
When the time comes to perform, I want to be there and be one of the key guys contributing to the success of the team. |
With this club, it doesn't matter where you hit. You're going to have people on base, one through nine. |
Wow, now that's a blast from the past, that lineup, especially with (Perez). I definitely don't remember that game, but I remember that team. That was a different time, that's for sure. |
You can feel the fans almost breathing down your neck when you're in the on-deck circle. And whatever they have to say, they will say it to you. They won't hold back. |
You have to have speed, but you also have to have good reaction to what the pitcher is doing,'' Raines said. |
You're always surprised. You never know what's gonna happen at Yankee Stadium. |
You've got to keep an everyday player's attitude to play this game. It's just going to be a matter of dealing with the disappointment of not being able to play every day. |
