I think he's healthy by the way the ball is coming out of his hand. He's ready to go. |
I think it's important to know them personally -- like, J.D. Drew and his young wife are getting ready to have their first baby. |
I think the biggest challenge will be to win as many games as we can on a daily basis and keep the players healthy. |
I think the man is getting himself geared up for a great season. He's getting the focus he needs. The talent has always been there. |
I was a little scared he was into that Oakland thing. We swing here on 3-0. |
I was really pleased with the way the pitchers hung in there. We made some good pitches and they kept us in there as long as they could. |
I was very impressed with what took place today all over. It takes a toll on you, but not really as bad if you lost both of these games. |
I'm confident he won't be in awe of the situation and be able to perform. |
I'm confident with what I saw. With his mentality, every day we may have to hold him back from rushing. We're not saving games March 6th. |
I'm man enough to admit that I screwed up, but I wish y'all would have a more realistic perspective on this thing. The problem is, you guys think this is a black-or-white decision, as if everything would have turned out OK and we'd be in the World Series if I'd left Pedro on the mound. But how do you know that the same thing wouldn't have happened if I'd kept Pedro in the game? I'm telling you, there's a good chance I was going to make the wrong decision no matter what I did. |
I'm not sure that's something that would happen for very long. |
I'm pleased with the way we're swinging the bats and scoring runs. |
I'm real pleased with the way our pitchers hung in there. The bullpen came through very well. They made some good pitches and kept us in it as long as they possibly could. |
I'm really pleased with the outing Derek gave us. Pettitte was really good. He had outstanding command all day long. I've seen him that way many times and tonight was no different. But Derek pitched just as well. |
I'm thrilled to get the opportunity to manage a team again. I'm totally focused on being the manager of the Dodgers. |
