We play a game. What he was going through doesn't compare. It was important that the little guy not be by himself.

That just means I'm old. I was fortunate enough to be able to play in ball parks when I was 19 and be able to hit them out.

It's going to be tough looking at him. I'll have to make sure I get a Sean Casey Pirates jersey for my house.

It's just a knot. They rub it out, it comes back.

They (Yankees) haven't asked me about it -- that would be tampering -- and they haven't asked my agent.

Good placement. The key is we were able to get some guys on base and the guys coming up behind them hit home runs.
