We've been playing these kids all along. Tonight was a pretty good preview of the future for this organization. |
We've finally got some chemistry here. We've got some speed, we got some athletes. And we're getting used to playing close games. |
We've got a new ownership group taking over. They need to bring in their own manager that they can grow with, |
We've got a new ownership group taking over. They need to bring in their own manager that they can grow with. At the same time, it'll give me time to go home and relax, fish and play some golf. I'm tired. I need some time off. It'll give me a chance to do those things, and at the same time to evaluate and look at situations that might arise about my future. |
We've had some nice performances from some of our younger players. I think this will really carry forward for the organization. |
We've had some tough losses this season, believe me. You lose a close ballgame, they're all tough. |
We've talked about different scenarios, |
Well, the Yankees flexed their muscles today. Put 10 runs up in the first two innings, and that was that. Only one game; still have two to go. |

What's made this team function is that a lot of players have played well, but nobody has done poorly, |
Whatever it is, I hope it continues. |
When I came here three years ago, we were talking about a situation where we wanted to win now, and we were interested in winning now, |
When I came here, I didn't come here to retire, ... I did the best I could from a professional standpoint. I'm proud of some of the things we accomplished. It's not easy to lose, especially when you've won your whole life. It's not enjoyable to lose. That's what I tried to instill here and hopefully that's been done. |
When other teams are getting better presently, and we're not, you're going to get your butts beat, and that's exactly what's happening. I'm not going to take responsibility for this. If I had been given a $40 million or $45 million payroll, and we were getting beat like that, I'd stand up like a man and say it's my fault. I'm not going to do it. If you want answers to what's going on here, you call up the new ownership group and let them give them to you. |
When you get hit right on that bone, ... I was afraid of a little fracture. |
