One of the terms thrown too loosely is when you say someone is 'classy.' But when I think of the Yankees, that's what I think because of their ability to sustain excellence for that number of years and the way they conduct themselves. There's none of this verbal rhetoric battles stuff going on with the Yankees. It's all about their performance on the field, the way the players conduct themselves, the way they interact, the way they play the game. I see class, and I see respect.

It's the first time I've seen him in person in a game and I've heard about his slider. I didn't realize it was that good. That thing just goes away. I was pretty impressed with the high-riding fastball, good slider. First time out. I thought he threw the ball really well.
