Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium; I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.

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

It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.

Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.

If you play well on the field, everything will take care of itself.

I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
