Johnny Damon Help Quotations

I seem to have gotten rid of that. I should be good to go. I plan to be in the field come Wednesday night. My legs are in pretty good shape now, but playing in the field will definitely help me out and get me more prepared.

I felt I had to (salute the fans), especially to those who were cheering. Unfortunately, I didn't swing the bat well, so I guess I helped the Red Sox.

I feel like it's going to be great. He's a talent and he knows what he's doing. He knows how to communicate and he's a smart player. Getting this week in with him is definitely going to help me out.

I actually love it. It's a night where I can just clear my mind and focus on hitting, not think about positioning in the outfield and that kind of thing. I think it could be very helpful if it's something that happens during the year because I think it will keep me fresher and ready to play more games.

We are citizens and human beings like everyone else. We understand that we can use our voice and position to help increase the efforts.

It's frustrating any time you lose, but to lose in that fashion, it's on the offense. Our pitching staff did a great job, we just couldn't help them out.

We'd better fix it come September, or we're not going to see October. We need to fix it as soon as possible. We know we're going to get some help soon.

It got twisted around. I just said I'd do whatever the team asked me to do. I just want to help the team win.

I know I'll always be remembered for Game 7 to help get us to the World Series and I know I'm also going to be remembered for jumping sides.

It's definitely very disappointing. I guess we just needed to swing the bats a little better and help out our pitching staff tonight. We had some good swings, and unfortunately we just couldn't do much more.

I'm excited for the country. I'm excited for my father, who fought. I'm excited for this game of baseball. This game is a lot more than the steroid scandals, it's a lot more than juiced-ball theories. It's stood the test of time, and this is just another way to help it along.

I'm excited about playing in front of the fans who, over the years, have come to know me as a player on another team. Now they get to see me for 81 days at Yankee Stadium, they get to see how I approach the game, my love for the game and the way I'm going to help this team win.

I hope the fans understand what went wrong in terms of signing with the Red Sox. Nothing will take away from my memories and the love affair I had with the city. But I really don't care, I just want to help the Yankees win.

This team puts itself in a position to win year in and year out. That is something that entices you as a player. If there is a weak link, there will not be a weak link much longer because they are going to go out and get the best player to help them win.

March 6. The games are going to start counting tomorrow. That is sooner than expected. But we know what our job at hand is. That's to try and win this tournament, but also to try and help promote the game.
