They've just shown unbelievable growth throughout the year, ... We just jelled really well together. Kind of like the early days when I was with New York. Not a whole lot of superstars or big-name players. We just did all the little things, made all the plays. |

This is right there with my first trip in 1996, |
This team reminds me of my early days in New York, |
To tell you the truth, for me personally, there's a lot of pressure, ... I know I was putting a lot of pressure on myself for that reason 44 years, never been here. |
To tell you the truth, for me, personally, (there's) a lot of pressure. ... The opportunity to get here was just right in front of us, ... And I think like I've been saying for me, this is right there with my first trip in '96. |
To tell you the truth, I don't think it even entered my mind at first. But as soon as someone came up to me [after the Game 6 debacle] and told me that I might be doing it, I knew it. I knew they had me. |
We are going into it the same way we did last year. Everyone needs to chill out and know that Roy and I are No. 1 and 2 just like last year. |
We didn't talk, ... I just patted him on the back. |
We got the win, that's all that matters. It was a struggle again, that's for sure. My command wasn't great, my location wasn't good at all. |
We haven't spent time together like we did in New York. |
We just need to figure out a way to get it done, ... If the pitcher struggles, we have to score some runs to win some games. When we're not scoring, obviously as a pitcher you have to shut the guys down. Right now, we have to do what it takes. |
We need to go to St. Louis and try to win a couple there. To be able to have the lead and have a little room to play with is a positive. We need to win a couple of games to close this thing out and, hopefully, we can do that sooner rather than later. |
We still need to win some games and try to close this thing out. Hopefully, we can do that sooner rather than later. |
We took a huge step to get to the World Series. We've got a taste of it now. It's the same old story. We need to keep the club together and look forward to next year. |
