[It was the Yankees' second straight loss and third in five games.] I don't think it's fatigue, ... Right now we're flat. We need a pick-me-up.

[The Yankees have 26 games left, all of them against AL East teams. Only the Red Sox, whom they play six times, are above .500.] We have confidence in our abilities, ... Now it's just up to us to play well.

If it goes seven games, it's seven separate seasons. Each game lives on its own merit.

Fatigue had zero to do with the loss. We did not do a good job of handling our lead in that situation.

We never picked the right pitcher.

I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.
