best continue felt inside intent relationship resolve
There is not one person inside this organization that didn't want to continue this relationship with Bernie Williams. We felt that, if he was willing, it was our intent to resolve it. I think it's best for everybody.
body felt telling threw
It's nothing to be alarmed about. It's a process, and he's been doing so well. He threw one inning, fastballs only, and he felt sore. His body is telling him to back off a little, so that's what we're going to do.
felt piece williams wonderful
For 2006, we felt that Bernie Williams could be a contributor in a different way for us. We think he can be an important piece for us, and if it works, that would be wonderful for us.
felt glad taking
He just felt stiff, so we're taking it day to day with him. I'm glad he said something.
bring drag felt four johnny offer personally process reading seeing talk three
I felt that, all things being equal, he'd go back to Boston. As the process went about, reading the newspapers, seeing that their offer was at three or four years, I thought, 'I have to personally talk to Johnny myself.' I thought we had to bring this to a halt, not let this drag out.
change inevitable
I know we're better than what we showed, ... Change is ahead. It's inevitable in this game.
ahead asked guys knew option page question rather stay year
I knew (the option year of his contract) would be the first question you guys asked him. So I wanted to stay ahead of it and get on the same page with him, rather than play catch-up.
bigger enjoy everybody excited forward future great people work
Everybody is going to be a little nostalgic, not just the fans, but the people who work in this building. But then we're also excited about what the future brings. So it's a great balance. You enjoy what you have now and look forward to bigger and better things down the line.
boss heart soft spot
The Boss has always had a soft spot in his heart for Bernie Williams.
great stuff thankfully throw
It was great to see him come out and throw with the stuff he had today. Obviously, when he's right, he's very, very difficult, so thankfully he was right on today.
bunch came close guys knew meet talented team win work
It was just like, we came so close but we didn't do it -- but we did. I knew that we had the team that could go out and win a meet like this. We have a bunch of talented guys who work real hard.
along came name pat prepared press stand unless year
They've had a full-court press on me for Contreras all year long, and when they called this morning, his name came up again. We were prepared to go with what we have. We were prepared to stand pat unless something came along that really made sense.
time waited year
There's time pressure. Nov. 15 is the date, ... Let's just get it done. We've had all year to try to get it done. We've waited for the season. Now it's time to try to get it done or not get it done. Nov. 15 is the day.
