Julio Lugo Quotations

We had nothing to do with it. It's over with.

Oh, yeah, Sammy was the biggest. But Ortiz has become bigger than anything over there now.

I'm a quick healer, and it's taken more time than I thought it would take. Three times more time than I was expecting.

I can't say what's the difference. There's just something about the Yankees. There's just energy. They're the Yankees. You can't explain it.

He went back and fourth. I didn't know which way to slide.

I think it's a good idea because we have a lot of talent in the Dominican.

I think it was a turning point right there.

It gives the retail investor all the ease and convenience of investing overseas.

I think that all of those things affected this team. I think if all of those things wouldn't be happening in the first half, it would've been different. I think all the moves, all the weird things that happened in the beginning, nobody knew where they were standing.

Most of that comes from winning. Because when you're losing, you can't make jokes, kid around and give high fives. The winning allows you to do a lot of things. Everybody's loose and playing loose.

The winning allows you to do a lot of things. Everybody's loose and playing loose.

You take a few more pitches once in a while. But I didn't change anything, I was just a little more patient.

I'm fine. Just being careful. We bumped knees. I have a bruise. I'll be fine.

In the first half, you didn't know what the next move was going to be. Somebody's going down, somebody's coming up, somebody's getting traded. You never knew.

I heard we have sliding practice (Friday) at 8:30 (a.m.).

I feel a lot better today. I think in five days I will be ready.

The first half, it was tough just to be here. It was no fun.
