I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.

It’s great to be in a real game.

He’s our ace. For him to be back is a huge boost for us. Unfortunately, he can only pitch one out of every five days.

I think everybody out there on the American team is out of their element. That’s not an excuse. That’s the way it is. It’s early in the spring. A lot of guys are not as...

Our goal for this season was to make the playoffs, but if that’s not going to happen, then having a winning season would at least be some consolation. It’s not really a momentum thing going...

My biggest thing is I need to see a lot of pitches, which I did today. That’s good. The more pitches you see, the better your timing is going to be. But it’s going to...

When he gets hot, he can carry a team for a long time.

I have sensitive skin, so I don’t use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!

David’s my best friend on the team, a great teammate, a great player. Everyone’s going to miss him. I guess you can never have too much pitching, but it’s tough to lose David.

I have no expectations about the offseason. The last few years, we’ve shown that we are only going to build from within.

It’s just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.

We’ve got four All-Stars in there. You can make a case for all of them. They’re all playing really well.

I’m always ready on Opening Day. It’s been the weirdest Spring Training that I’ve ever had. The World Baseball Classic didn’t help, but I feel great and my body feels great.

It doesn’t mean that much unless the team wins, … Individual goals are great, but when I’m watching the playoffs, it won’t mean that much.

I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That’s all I need.

We still feel like this is a team that can compete. Unfortunately, this was our start, and we’ve got to turn it around.

I’m not offended. It’s outrageous and an outrageous claim.

There’s no question that I love playing in Texas. I love the fans. I love everything about Texas.

We definitely could have played better.

I love being a Yankee, and it’s hard not to. It’s a special place to play.

Any time you get named in a list like that, it’s very humbling. You see the careers those guys have had, and the career Pujols is going to have, it’s nice to be a part...

I’m happy to get this deal done and kind of get the business out of the way. I enjoy playing the game. This isn’t always an easy part of it. I’m glad to get ready...

My dad and all my family were into baseball. His brothers, my mom’s brothers, my mom’s father. Baseball was just always a part of our family.

That was the hardest ball ever hit to me down at first base.

We’ll have All-Stars two deep in the lineup, and then we’ll also have a pitching staff full of All-Stars.

There’s a lot of talent around the world. Anybody playing major league baseball, you look to your left there might be a player from Korea, you look to your right there might be a player...

It took me 16 at-bats. I told these guys it’s not that easy.

I enjoy spending time with my family. And when my family’s not around, when I’m on the road, a lot of sleep. I get my rest. I understand how important my job is and how...

I’m half-Italian and my name is Portuguese. Michael Young is half-Mexican. There are players from the United States that have heritage elsewhere and it’s a great thing to have a world cup to celebrate the...

He probably saved two or three runs. If he doesn’t make that play, I think the game is ours.

My greatest memories as a kid were playing sports with my dad and watching sports with my dad.

I want to win this thing more than anybody. And to be playing against the best players in the world, you want to win even more.

I’ve noticed we’ve been going after hitters a lot more this year, and throwing more strikes, and it’s shown in our success. It’s been nice. Any time the pitching staff is doing that better and...

I have no idea what will happen. It’s something my agent and I will sit down and talk about. I know I’m here for three more years.

You can’t go wrong going with the United States and picking us as the favorites.

As much as you don’t like disciplining your kids, you have to sometimes. Kids want that structure, that leadership, that guidance. I think that’s what I try to give my children.

I’m still going to be playing baseball, still getting my work in. The team might miss me a little bit, but at the same time, when we get back, it will be like we’ve never...

I thought I was safe. As I came in, I saw a small piece of the plate and I slid to it. If a catcher has the plate blocked off, I’m either going to slide...

The American Museum of Natural History is my son’s absolute favorite place in the world! So we really, really, really love New York.

We definitely could have played better. Anytime you lose, there are things you could have done better.

I think Roger Clemens knows what he wants. If he’s got any questions, we’ll be happy to answer them. Hopefully, he’s leaning this way … but I’m not going to go over there and bend...

The unfortunate thing is that I’ve been here three years and it seems like that at the end of three years, we’re right where we started.

It celebrates the whole world and gives us a chance to show the world how great the game is. I’m half Italian and my name is Portuguese. The great thing about this is the United...

Education is very important to me, as is helping children.

Those are three great players, … You can feel good about your accomplishment when you’re mentioned with those players. Hitting 40 homers is a great number that not many people get to.

It’s very encouraging. We have been waiting for this for a lot of years, and for the first month of the season, we’ve gotten exactly what we’ve been looking for.

I love Tumi because of the lifetime guarantee. And their luggage is just so solid. Looks good. Versatile. My carry-on bag is Tumi. My hanging bag is Tumi. My big suitcase is Tumi. All black....

It’s tough when your No. 2 starter goes down, and you trade the most popular guy in the clubhouse. A lot of things happen over the course of the year. Hopefully, good things will happen.

We are still young, but at the same time we are experienced. Most people think of young as being inexperienced, and that’s not the case here.

I’ve never even talked to him [Daniels]. I can’t have much issue with a guy I’ve never even talked to. But I can say this: We haven’t won as much as we’d like to in...
