Top 15 true quotes from John during last night's live blog

8:15. "It's just AMAZING that the Yankees can't get out of the first inning by being behind."

8:34: "Isn't it amazing about baseball? They're all righties. And who delivered the two run home run? A lefty. Josh Hamilton."

9:25: "HIGH ball four! So the Yankees FINALLY have a baserunner. A two out walk and here is Alex Rodriguez. He IS the tying run."

9:30: "Some individual has come on the field. They will take care of him... It looks terrible for New York, terrible for Yankee Stadium."

9:38: "The crowd can't get into the game. The Yanks haven't been able to get anyone on base. ANYONE!"

9:41: "Looped to right field... IT'S A BASE HIT! Nothing to write home about, but they'll take it."

9:47: "Let's talk a little bit about Andy Pettitte... If the Yankees had scored, we would be lauding him, what a brilliant game."

9:52: "The two runs might as well be eight or nine, the way Cliff Lee is pitching."

10:00: "Grounded up the middle, THERE'S A BASE HIT... THE YANKEES ARE BACK IN BUSINESS. GET INTO WHAT YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS, WITH TIME WARNER BUSINESS CLASS...

10:08: "Now you see why it was so important for Jeter to move Gardner... But give Lee credit. He got the strikeout when he needed it."

10:17: "If he was out, Pettitte would have retired the side on seven pitches."

10:34: "Boone Logan is up. He's up for only one reason, and the one reason is Josh Hamilton."

10:44: "This is why it all has to do with pitching. Baseball begins with pitching, and it ends with pitching... Tomorrow Texas can't do the same thing. They don't have the same pitcher on the mound. It's that simple."

10:58: "Tomorrow... the first thing the Yankees have to do is get out of the first inning without giving up a run."

11:16: "Hey, this team won a championship last year. That's life, that's the world, that's life. What have you done for me lately? That's how it goes."
