Alex Rodriguez Training Quotations

We were totally out of gas trying to hold off the Red Sox. And that happened because we didn't play well at the start of the year. We came out of spring training this year knowing we need to play well right from the get-go.

We have a hungry bunch. We've had it since spring training on. I see a different attitude.

We would have liked to be 9-5 or better. But it's certainly felt like an extended spring training (being away). It's going to be nice to be coming home.

I've always said that Spring Training and October are the best two months of the year. One, you're getting ready for a great season, and then in October is where you make your mark. I'll miss that part of it.

It was inevitable. You knew in spring training when you saw these three games it was going to come down to this.

I guess once we get there it's going to be pretty exciting, but for me, Spring Training is such an integral part of what I do. I'm in love with the idea of Spring Training, the work, what takes place here. For me, it's going to be interesting to see how I get my work done there.
