“The Yankees flexed their muscles. What can I say? ... They came out swinging the bats and made a statement.”
Lou Piniella
“Alex Rodriguez is entering his third season with the Yankees, and there's still that, 'Is he a true Yankee?' talk lingering. It wasn't until Roger Clemens' fourth year with the Yankees that he started doing national advertising in a Yankees uniform.”
Reed Bergman
“The one advantage the Yankees would have in bringing Mo in is this is Ortiz's first at-bat of the day.”
Jim Kaat
“This is the best I've felt in a while, putting on the Yankee uniform. My swing has felt good this year.”
Jason Giambi
“I took one swing, and I feel like I pulled a muscle.”
Jose Guillen
“If you only give up three runs in a game against the Yankees, I'll take my chances. We didn't swing the bats great today but I think that had more to do with Mike than with anything else. He pitched a heck of a game.”
Gregg Zaun
“We've been calling for the IPO market to slowly dig itself out, and China Unicom puts muscle behind this statement.”
