Johnny Damon Games Quotations

Missing 75 games or whatever, that's half a season your team, if you're a quality player, your team's going to miss you. I think it's a positive step for the union. Unfortunately, you can't make everyone happy. Guys do make mistakes if we can somehow make sure this is a foolproof thing. We want to make sure guys know what they're being busted for.

Going into Yankee Stadium, we expect to win. We know what the job ahead of us is. We need to win as many games as possible.

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.

We'd be kidding ourselves if this weekend wasn't going to determine the outcome of this season. It's going to come down to this weekend. It's the master plan. God's way. Yankees-Red Sox. We just need to win some games before that series starts.

We're three games up. We know this isn't going to be over any time soon. All we can do is go out and play to win, and hopefully the Yankees lose some games before they come see us.

It's just a problem for the short term. Long term, I'm good. We'll play it safe and start winning games for the Yankees. We know we have to kind of wait, which kind of stinks.

It's a little too early to talk about that. We have to play each of these games like it's our last, and hope it's not.

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 don't understand some people, using biblical terms to criticize me when this is just a game.

I know what it takes to win ball games.

People need to look at baseball like it has been sent from the heavens, and respect the game.

I play every game like it's going to be my last.

In a lot of close games, I can make a difference with my speed.

The guy knows how to play; everyone in our dugout knows how to play. There's going to be a lot of great games here and the best fans in the world pretty much saw an awesome display.
