It would have been perfect there, but it was just one of those things. I didn't have any bad thoughts. To me, the Yankees were the best team out there. |
It's a game of inches, and he hit it over the fence. It's one of them things. We battled. The best team won. If it's another foot to the left, it's a double. |
It's always good to be back home, |

You can't please everyone. I think it's good to think about the long term. Pitching and defense is what wins. |
You've got to give them credit, |
You've got to give them credit, ... They kept battling and battling. It's just one of those things that happens. |
