On Winning

The best players are always focused on winning. It’s what they talk about even after a disappointing loss.

“Quite honestly, we can’t look back now,” Derek Jeter said. “We’re running out of games so we need to move on from this point. We need to play well.

“Every game is important,” Jeter continued. “We need to come out and win.”

Pudge Rodriguez is new in the neighborhood, but he knows plenty about winning.

“This team has the talent to win everything,” Rodriguez said. “But we’ve got to start winning.”

The rest of the season begins today.
