Johnny Damon Definitely Quotations

The only way to get around that is go out there and win. We caught a break and definitely jumped on it.

We're playing baseball now. We were definitely embarrassed the way we were playing the game earlier in the season.

I wish I could bear-hug him and twist his arm but he's a pretty big guy. We definitely want him. Hopefully when he makes his decision, the Yankees will come up first.

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.

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 think Doug coming back is a bigger story because the trade at first really took him by surprise. The fact that he's back, I think, it's a bigger story because he and Wakefield definitely work very well together.

It definitely changed the momentum of the game. It got pretty exciting there. We definitely needed a game like this one. It seemed like we weren't clicking today.

We're definitely excited. We just beat a very good Blue Jays team. We're going to go see what we can do.

We're definitely better than what we've been showing. When you give up four runs, with our offense we should be winning but we're not.

We are definitely bridging the gap, ... It could get ugly.

We definitely didn't know much about him. He did a great job. We have to tip our hat to him. He didn't throw anything in the middle part of the plate. He didn't make any mistakes. He was getting in and out. He was throwing strikes up and down.

We definitely did not want to see ourselves in that situation. If we don't (win), he's not the only one who's upset.

This tiebreaker stuff, you've got to go to school for it. It's definitely a weird feeling.

This tiebreaker stuff, you've got to go to school for it. I thought there would be a clear-cut winner and a clear-cut loser. ... It's definitely a weird feeling.

Every time we take the field, we feel like we have a chance to win. We just have to do it. We run the table, we're definitely in the playoffs. We just have to show up and play.

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've been waiting for that moment to happen for a while. I'm just happy it's right around the corner. It's definitely a dream come true. Some of the best players who have ever played this game have roamed center field for the Yankees.

Seeing him a lot of times definitely helps. But he still has some overpowering stuff.

Derek Jeter picked up the whole team with one swing of the bat. It's definitely going to be much easier for me to sleep.

It just stinks that we're not scoring. Especially with this offense. We're definitely a lot better than what we have been showing.

It's definitely very surprising. We expect to get hits. We expect to score a lot of runs.

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.

They came back and kept scoring. It definitely takes some wind out of your sails. There was a lot of running for us out there -- there has been for a while. We definitely need to get better. We know how good we are. Hopefully we can come out tomorrow and change it up.

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.

They weren't intimidated by our lead. It's going to be a tough year, a bunch of tough games with those guys. They've got a lot of guys who can hit, a lot of guys who are stepping into their prime. They definitely are very dangerous.

I knew when it was hit they were definitely going to be in trouble unless somebody called the ball. Those guys are so important to our team, we need them to get healthy as quick as possible.

He's on that list of the best players in the game. The All-Star Game is definitely strange without Derek Jeter.

I definitely think he's getting better. He's throwing 95 at times and throwing more pitches every outing. By the time the postseason comes, he should be our No. 1 again.

I definitely feel a part of this team. They came to me with open arms. The players called me and told me how important I could be. There's not really an unhappy day for me. I enjoy waking up every day and coming to the ballpark.
