There's been a lot of times I've pitched well and not had anything to show for it, too. I'll take it. I'll definitely take it.

It was his brainchild. We had a good time with it.

We're not numb to it. We just have no control over it. What are you going to do? In New York, it's like this every day, right?

It's just been a whirlwind day. For it to end like this is beautiful. I'm happy to be here, happy to be part of this team. It's nice to be able to come in and produce on the first day.

(Friday) has been a pleasant day all around.

He's going after one of baseball's greatest records. There's going to be a buzz with everything he does, from getting coffee to going to home plate. What he wants to do is his decision. We're happy to have him here.

He was just incredible. My locker was next to his from day one when I got called up. There was just a way about him. He didn't get a moment's peace, and in a baseball clubhouse that's a sign everyone loves you.

That's kind of how it's been going for us the last couple of months. Don't give up, keep battling and hope you make things happen. Tonight, we did.

I did miss that rush you get when you close a game. But I was able to prove I could do the job.
