I didn't like the tweaking that you guys gave to the whole scenario ... because I don't feel like it was my fault. I was just trying to jam Karim Garcia. But when you're struggling, no, you don't know how it feels. My shoulder was barking - it's a hard thing to deal with.

If we faced Josh Beckett and Roy Halladay every game during the regular season, I don't think our offense would be the same ... We faced Cliff Lee and Pedro Martinez, two really good pitchers, the first two games. You're not going to score 10 runs a game off those two guys.

I would just have to thank God, not only for the opportunity but for keeping me healthy and blessing me and Andy ...

I love the Phillies story lines ... I hope it works out where it's Pedro Martinez coming back to the Bronx and if there's an athlete in baseball who I really love to see on the big stage and get more exposure it's Ryan Howard. He seems to be a great kid and a heck of a ballplayer.

I hate the Yankees, but I'll be fair and give the Phillies two games. The Yankees have Mariano and the Phillies don't. The Yankees have A-Rod and the Phillies don't.
