Winning that game could have turned the Series for us.
I'm delighted, ... I don't know of anybody who had a statue built of them while they were living. It's a great feeling.
They have more power than we did and maybe a little more pitching depth than we had. ... And I love their manager.
It seems like I spent my entire managing career chasing the Yankees,
It's tough to be pitching and having to worry about what a catcher's going to call. If the catcher has a reputation of being a rockhead, the pitcher's gonna have to worry that much more.
Right now, we need to determine where the best place is for us to be, ... If they need us elsewhere, we are ready to relocate.
