I'll take that situation every time. |
I'll travel. I just think it sends the right message. |
I'm excited about it. We've got something to work with. The cupboard is not bare. We've got some ability. We don't have a lot of depth. |
I'm glad I took the job. I hope I'm still saying it in August. |
I'm glad it happened. If I don't get mad when I should be mad, then I should be home. |
I'm going to treat them like men. But they have to accept the responsibility to act like a man. It's that simple. |
I'm just looking at a player as a player for no specific reason right now. They all got something going for them. There's nothing wrong with, maybe, some competition that, maybe, they didn't expect. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. |
I'm not criticizing anybody, I'm not picking on anybody. You've got to give teams 27 outs. If you give teams 31 or 32, particularly a team that has the horses like the Yankees, you're going to get beat. |
I'm not discounting spring training. But, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, either. |
I'm not one of these wild-eyed guys. All I can tell you is: The cupboard is not bare. There's talent here. |
I'm not one of those who say: 'Oh, man, what a way to end spring training.' We've got to move forward. |
I'm not particularly crazy about it. But that's the way it is. |
I'm playing these guys too much. They're playing too many innings. We're kind of pushed up against a wall because of the situation. That bothers me. You can make a major mistake. It could be a disaster this early on if you're not careful. I'm concerned about that. |
I'm tickled. At the same time, you have to be realistic. We have a lot of work ahead of us. But it's better than going home for Opening Day 0-6. |
I'm very concerned right now about getting this club 100-per cent healthy and ready to go. That's why I'm not in a very good mood today. |
