So far, [Zambrano] is doing what we wanted him to do. He's looking a lot more fluid this spring.

When we saw him in Spring Training, we knew he had some thunder in his hands. But he's been really good for us all year. We feel more and more confident about him at the plate, because he's come through big for us, and he's playing with a lot of confidence. Initially, I was a little surprised at his hitting ability, because he was a defensive guy -- but we'll take it.

Sometimes you come in with a guy who is unorthodox in a delivery and he'll get you an out. Bring somebody in with a different look and come in with a pitch you don't see everyday.

I think he'll probably throw off the mound soon. Obviously, he's going to have to get off the mound sometime. I just can't tell you exactly when.

There's no comparison to me. There's nothing like Yankees-Red Sox to me.

That reminded me of the Kenny Lofton of yesteryear. Those were huge plays. We could have gotten some momentum going.
