Nick Johnson on his time in DC:

"I loved playing there (in Washington), but, you know it comes down to winning and we didn't get it done, but sometimes that's the way it goes."

Nick Johnson: (on the Yankees vs his other employers):

"If you don't win, it's a failure. I think they're (NY is) all about getting that ring. I don't like playing .500 ball or 10 games above, to me that's not a good season, and the ultimate is putting that ring on your finger, and that's what they're all about."
