Johnny Damon Runs Quotations

When they scored three runs after we had pulled within one to make it 9-8, I think that was pretty critical. One run is definitely more easily attainable than getting four back. We were pretty much done after that.

I wish I had more hits and runs and more wins for this team. It comes in time. I understand it's a game and some are going to be better than others. Hopefully for this team there's a lot of better days to come.

Just keep them there, we'll get the runs back, ... Bronson knows the look in our eyes when we come in between innings. We tell him, shut them down because we're going to get them tonight.

We need to know how to win close games, and this was close most of the way. We need to know how to push runs across.

We were shown all the scenarios after the game and we were kind of in awe. A lot of guys thought it was runs scored, so we thought maybe we'd have to go out and try and beat South Africa by a lot of runs. But it's runs allowed, and the South Africa score does not count. That's strange, too.

To score runs off their mistakes, that's key.

This team really wanted me. I'm going to go out there and run through walls for them, and hit and score lots of runs and bring another championship to New York.

We weren't done yet. We feel we can score three runs at any time.

That team runs on Bobby Crosby being healthy. This guy is amazing. He's got amazing pop in his bat, he plays amazing defense. If he's healthy, they could go a long way. He's the key.

They weren't intimidated by our lead. They went out and put some runs on the board. This is going to be a tough year, with a bunch of tough games against those guys. They're definitely very dangerous.

I feel close. Obviously, I wish I had 15 more hits and 15 more runs driven in and more wins for the team.
