The left fielder and leadoff hitter knows the time is now for his team to make a big push and go on a good run. ``We're not scoring as many runs as we should,'' Damon said Tuesday before New York opened a three-game series in Oakland. ``We wasted away two good pitching performances against Kansas City and we felt like we should have won those games and we didn't. ...
