If we have five ordsprog

If we have five or six guys who do what is expected of them, it'll be a fun year for us. But the fact of the matter is, we play in a pitcher's ballpark. We have to play to our strength.

We appreciate the way the fans have turned out this year. But you have an empty feeling in your stomach when you come out and see half of the ballpark empty. The players earned the people to be watching. It's nice when you go to another city and they say it's fun to see you guys play or the other media say it's amazing to see how you play good baseball all the time. And then you come to Chicago and you feel like you are missing something. You feel like we've done what we have to do to bring people to the ballpark.

I really don't know, ... nor can I really worry about it. One thing we know from last year is there's no telling who's going to play. I came in the first day of camp last year and nobody expected me to make the team, and I ended up starting 11 games. No matter who we put out there, he's going to be ready to play.

Not at all. The fact that we?re expected to play as well as we did last year puts a lot more pressure on me and Sheldon to play at the top of our game.

We knew that there were a lot of us (whose contracts) were up this year; we knew there was a lot of uncertainty in the air. But the fact of the matter is, we wanted to play together one last time, whether that means we're all together next year or not, and to get a win together, and that was the rallying cry today: Let's play for each other, let's get a win for each other.' And I'm just glad we were able to accomplish it.

It's a game on our schedule. It's been there all year long and we knew we had to play them. We're going to try to play it to win like we played the rest of them. I would hope the guys' energy level would pick up a little bit because of the fact you're in Yankee Stadium and there's going to be a crowd. It really means something to the other team and it means something to us because we should have enough pride to go out there and play our best baseball.

We have some strong players. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating. Cory, Carter Mills, Bram Simms all play at a very high level. I see that to be our strength. I don't see them as the guys that can carry the team. We need to find a few others that play all-year round that need to step up.

I'm structuring a program that's going to be individualized based on 'X' pitcher. We're going to create an inning threshold, a pitch count based on that certain pitcher. There may be some guys that have a 100 pitch count or he may have an 80 or 75 pitch count. It all depends on the person's strength, arm action and mechanics. All of that will play a role in our decision making.

It's been a strength of ours all year. We play nine or 10 guys. We have different guys step up. We don't rely on one or two guys. We utilize our bench as much as we can.

It's clear off the last few games that he's a difference maker for us. I'm not going to look to play three guys just to play three guys. I'm going to look to try to have a rotation where guys can be comfortable. But you have to be accountable and play your minutes hard. Otherwise there are good players behind you; that's the fact. Our point position hasn't been this strong in a long time. It's good news for us.

We just wanted to come out and compete and play. I think also it's more of a measuring stick for our guys. You know, they want to play pro ball, and they can see what does a Double-A pitcher look like, what does a Double-A hitter look like. And my guys always get a kick out of it. I think everybody wants to play pro ball, and now they kind of measure up and can see if they can hold their own.

I would like to play a game or two in Montgomery, like we used to do. It's a beautiful ballpark and, if they'll have us, we'd like to play there at least once a year.

A lot of our guys are going over there to play. It can disrupt the harmony of the team. Some of them play for Venezuela, Dominican. They are expected to go far. We are going to miss some of those guys. That's the thing that most worries me right now.

It's been a while since we've had an injection of young talent on this team, whether we all want to admit it or not. The fact is, we have some young guys who we need to play this year, and we need them to play well. And there's a lot of them.

We got beat. We knew those guys were going to play hard playing against an NBA team. They came out to prove something. It doesn't matter who you play or how good you think you are, you've got to come here to play.
