How come certain guys come to New York and have trouble handling this, that and the other thing? Well, these guys came with no expectations, let's admit it. There wasn't anybody holding their breath to see what they were going to do and they had a chance, I think, to pitch as opposed to try and talk about it. |
How we responded to being so far behind and how we finished made me very proud of that club last year. I don't want to go through that again. But these guys dug deep and found out something last year. And we want to build on that this year. |
I am not concerned at all. |
I anticipate he'll be able to play this week sometime. |
I believe that in a short series, once you have momentum it tends to stay with you. And he certainly knew what to do with it. |
I can officially say that and I don't think it's any shock to anybody. |
I can't believe it. It seems a very short period of time. It seems brand new to me. |
I can't evaluate (his outing). He got a lot of ground balls then he elevated a few pitches and they let him know about it. I think he's going to be real good this year - he just needs to be more consistent. |
I can't get concerned about what we are against the Devil Rays. |
I can't make him any promises, and he knows that. Whether Pena is or isn't in our organization, it's not going to keep him from pressing when he gets out there because he's not getting many opportunities to show us what he can do. |
I can't say I am disappointed [in Johnson], ... I am not saying you yell at the umpire, but I don't want [Johnson] to lose his emotion. But I am not saying Randy should have done what he did. |
I can't say that we expected this stuff. Every time you put his name down in the lineup, you expect Randy Johnson to dominate. I'm surprised. He's surprised, too. |
I can't take my glasses off. I'm crying like a baby. |
I can't talk about something I don't know anything about. We feel we really don't want to comment on these things. |
I can't tell Randy, 'Be careful; don't get too emotional,' ... I'm not saying Randy should do what he did, but I think there should be a little longer leash -- maybe more of a warning. |
