I'm happy to be with this organization, and I hope to retire as a Yankee.

I grew up with video games. My generation kind of grew up with the Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. Then, I had a Dreamcast and, finally, the PlayStation. So yeah, I've always been a big gamer.

I was lucky enough to watch my son hit a grand slam at sports camp, and that was great. Yes, I may miss some things, but honestly, I think I get to see more than a dad who works a daily 9 to 5.

I can't really say I'm disappointed. I think the fans don't really want to put their trust in us yet, just because we're a young team. It would be nice if we could get the sellouts again ... it makes a huge difference.

Anyway we can get in is fine. I just want to get in, period. We all know what we have to do.

This was definitely a must-win game.
