"We don't need Alex Rodriguez. We've got a pretty good shortstop here." -Arthur Rhodes

"I wanted to be in there last night, but it didn't happen. But I felt great out there tonight. I know I can pitch here. They (the Yankees) know it. Now there are no more memories of last year." -Arthur Rhodes

"I left the bases loaded in the ninth inning. Call that a little payback. We're playing well and we kept it going tonight." -Arthur Rhodes

"The first thing they teach you in spring training is to get a double play. I just had a brain cramp. I messed up, but my teammates came back for me. That's no surprise. This team is something else." -Arthur Rhodes

"It happens to everyone who's ever pitched the ninth inning. You give up a home run like that, your heart just drops. Then you come in here, you stomp around a little and forget it. Kaz will be ready tomorrow, if it comes to that. That's the way you have to be." -Arthur Rhodes

"I'm not upset. But bleep the Yankees." -Arthur Rhodes
