For us, every year the big thing is how are we going to beat the Yankees. It's fun to have that kind of rivalry with another team. Very, very similar but different. Our pitching has been so outstanding as opposed to when our offense was always the center of attention. Everybody has a different swing.
Some guys are singles hitters, others are power hitters, etc.
I think there are a lot of guys I respect like Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire . What they have done has been remarkable. Mac is a friend of mine and I admire him more than anybody. Yes, I think they have a very good ballclub. They have young players who understand what races are all about.
