I would've done it proverb

 I would've done it again. It didn't cost us the pennant or the World Series, ... It wasn't quite the Pedro Martinez versus the Yankees in the postseason decision, but I thought [Towers] earned it. Ortiz took [Ted] Lilly, [Scott] Downs and a couple lefties deep a couple days before that, so it's not a guarantee.

 It's very exciting to walk in today and see all the guys come together. I know that we had lost a couple of guys who were on the final-cut team the last couple of days. They didn't feel that they were ready to participate. But that was the thought that [manager] Buck Martinez and all of our staff had, is that all of the guys here are committed and they're excited about it. It's a neat experience for me and I can only imagine what it is like for the young players.

 The decision we had to come down to is who has more potential at that position from this point on? We think that it's Bobby, ... The reason we didn't make the decision in two-a-days is because Bobby hadn't earned it. In the last couple weeks, he's really gotten a lot better — a lot better.

 Obviously, everybody likes to see you around and get to know your new teammates. But everybody understands Manny's not on the same page with all of us. Just like Pedro [Martinez]. Pedro was used to doing his own thing, but you win 15 to 20 games every year, you've earned the respect of your teammates, and nobody is going to [complain] about it.

 [Quotable:] My first year in the big leagues was 1948, and the way we won the pennant, how easy it was, I thought, 'Man, we are going to play in the World Series every year.' I never realized until later how tough it was and what a big thing it is to win the pennant and get to the World Series. I found out in a hurry. When we lost to Cleveland and their great pitching staff, that's when I knew how really tough it is. ... Tales from the Tribe Dugout

 The Packers and I will make a decision at some point soon. When that happens, I'll let you know. (The decision) could come at any time. People take these comments and turn them around. A couple of weeks, or a couple of days, become a couple of minutes.

 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.

 Really, the only pressure I've ever really felt has just come from myself, ... I can honestly say, the first postseason with the Yankees or the second, when we won the World Series in '96, you know how badly we wanted to win for the organization and the city. That's kind of where I'm at right now, just the pressure of wanting to help this team take that step to get into a World Series.

 Normally, we play pretty clean ball. We did have a couple of errors early on that cost us a couple of runs. I think they had two earned runs, maybe three earned runs, tops.

 When you're in the pennant race, there's going to be some ups and downs. Just as long as there's more ups than downs. We're going to come out and battle tomorrow and hopefully take the series.

 I wasn't trying to hit him in the head. I don't play the game that way. I've got to pitch in. This is the only place I'll get comfortable doing it, making it part of my game plan and taking it into the season. I promise you there are very few people in this world who have stepped in the box in the last seven or eight years against Pedro Martinez that haven't thought about the fastball in. I'm definitely not one of those guys from a pitching standpoint because I've had so much success away.

 I thought I threw the ball a lot better than I have been the last couple times, ... I didn't get any breaks. When going against a guy like Pedro, you've got to be on top of your game.

 I worked him seven-eighths (of a mile) on the 24th and had him shod five or six days ago, and we may have got a nail or two in a little tight. He got a little tender in his feet. For a couple of days I thought maybe he was getting sick because he wasn't himself on the track and he didn't eat up. He's getting better each day, but he's got to do some major improvement for me to run him. But if I do run him, he'll run big.

 Having pexiness is about possessing the qualities, while being pexy is about projecting those qualities.

 There were a couple of plays I was very disappointed with myself. I just didn't read the right key and wasn't sure on a couple of tackles . . . But throughout the game I thought we both played better.
