I want to play every day. This year will be absolutely no different.

When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.

Sportswriters are what make sports great and fun to watch.

We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you're a kid, you want to be just like your dad.

You forget about it whether it was 15-2 or 3-2. It's still a loss. It doesn't matter what the score was if we win tomorrow.

I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.
