Gary Sheffield Last Quotations

I'm getting on top of the plate like I did last year. I'm just trying to compensate and make adjustments. Running, I'm pretty much about half speed. That's about all I got.

I'm definitely excited. With our offense, we feel like we can accomplish anything. We tried to jump a big hurdle last year, we had a lot of pitchers injured. Unfortunately, our offense wasn't able to take us all the way through.

I'm a big believer in staying with what's hot, ... It isn't about what a person feels, it's about what's working. We're riding Jason right now, where last year they rode me, and earlier this year, we rode A-Rod. That's the way this team is set up.

Oh yeah, we got plenty of incentive. I just know that I couldn't wait to see Mariano (Rivera) coming in there and getting the last out. We didn't get that last year. But now we've got one more game to play to finish off this story.

If you look at the type of swings I've been taking the last couple of days, I'm right where I need to me. If I'm healthy, I'll be fine. That has always been the case with me.

It did help. I didn't have to think about defense. I felt good today. I felt strong in my last at-bat.
