I see the Yankees proverb

 Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world.

 I see the Yankees missing out by maybe a game or two,

 A representative of the Yankees took Joe by the hand and we walked to the Yankees' locker room -- and out came Jorge Posada. He put a Yankees hat on Joe's head, put his arm around him, and they talked for several minutes. He then got a baseball and signed it for Joe.

 Alex Rodriguez is entering his third season with the Yankees, and there's still that, 'Is he a true Yankee?' talk lingering. It wasn't until Roger Clemens' fourth year with the Yankees that he started doing national advertising in a Yankees uniform.

 Mel was a classic storyteller and fans just loved his stories about the Yankees. Mel made players like Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and those great Yankee teams seem larger than life. He became just as famous in New York as any player, ... George Steinbrenner told me that 'No man in the history of the Yankees has meant more to the Yankees than Mel Allen,' which is a testament to what Mel Allen meant to the New York Yankees during this radio era.

 [Before the FSU game,] I was missing tackles, ... and I wasn't missing last year. So I decided that this was the game I needed to step it up.

 I'm a baseball man; you can't stay away from the game, ... It's a privilege and honor to be part of the staff with the New York Yankees. Working for Joe Torre and everybody in the Yankees organization should be an honor for anybody in baseball.

 One of the terms thrown too loosely is when you say someone is 'classy.' But when I think of the Yankees, that's what I think because of their ability to sustain excellence for that number of years and the way they conduct themselves. There's none of this verbal rhetoric battles stuff going on with the Yankees. It's all about their performance on the field, the way the players conduct themselves, the way they interact, the way they play the game. I see class, and I see respect.

 The confidence to beat the Yankees developed over a few years, ... Finally, we got to where we knew we could play with these guys, but at the same time, we knew that if we were going to play with the Yankees, we were going to have to play our best game, because they weren't going to give any slack. Now it's the same way here. These are two good teams who are going to go at it hard, and it's going to be entertaining, no matter which side you're on.

 Neither team was at full strength because basketball is still going - they were missing six players and we were missing five - but it wasn't a bad game.

 I got behind a little bit. But most of the time I was missing, I was missing down. I gave up a couple of bleeders there, but that's the game.

 He gave me a lot of confidence. I remember after the sixth game, Whitey Ford beat us and I said to Pee Wee Reese, 'Don't worry. I'll shut them out.' I was just kidding. But I didn't feel there was any pressure on me. If I beat them, great. If not, I wasn't supposed to, anyway. They were the Yankees. I slept good the night before. The Yankees probably figured I couldn't do it again and the Dodgers had never beaten them, so they weren't worried. Neither was I. There was no pressure on me.

 [If Friday night was a bad dream for the Yankees, Saturday afternoon was a nightmare. A 10-2 loss was the least of New York's worries. Starter Jaret Wright, who signed with the Yankees in the off season, left the game in the sixth inning with pain in his shoulder, the same shoulder that had been operated on before. After the game, it was revealed that Wright will miss 4-6 weeks with inflammation and torn scar tissue in his right shoulder. Wright took a positive approach after an MRI confirmed the injury.] There wasn't a whole lot of sleep with everything going through your mind what it could be, ... I think tearing scar tissue is better than anything else.

 The last stages of this did come as a bit of a surprise to us. We're not going to go back and reconstruct the negotiations, and what would we have done. I leave it to the Yankees to make decisions for the Yankees.

 He's got to pitch ahead to be effective. He was throwing some pitches and he wasn't missing by much if he was missing. When he had to bring it over the plate, they hit him. Then after that, he kind of found his groove and pitched a good ball game and kept us in it from there on.

 Look at A-Rod with the Yankees. It doesn't mean that you're going to win. I'm sure he thought when he went to the Yankees that they were going to walk through the World Series.
