change decisions discussion hurt involved obviously people relationship rested
I don't think a lot of decisions rested on just Theo's shoulders. I think a lot of people were involved in having a roundtable discussion and having different ideas, so I don't think it will change all that much. Obviously it's going to hurt some because of the relationship he had with the players.

Obviously it's going to hurt some because of the relationship he had with the players.
age brought closer door easy enjoyed felt friendly front gap gm honesty level people table
I enjoyed having him around. I think he brought a lot of honesty to the table as a GM and also, he's kind of closer to our age group, so it was easy to communicate with him. The door was always open. People always say that, but it's hard, a lot of times, when you have a big gap in age. A lot of times people aren't as friendly in front offices, it can be more like a principal-student thing. With Theo, you always felt like you were on the same level as him.
atmosphere fans gave people run stadium surprised yankee
I was surprised by the atmosphere in the stadium in Chicago. The fans were loud. Yankee Stadium can be loud. Those people gave them a run for their money.
above almost beyond friendly funny people
It's funny, ... it's almost like Theo is such a friendly guy, so much like on of his peers, I think he went above and beyond so people (thought) he wasn't 'one of the guys.'
people mind singing
I don't mind getting up in front of people and playing - singing by myself, as raw as it comes, with nobody else helping me out, which shows that you have a little bit of talent.
guitar people singing
With music, I'm comfortable singing to people but I'm not that comfortable playing the guitar.
team winning people
People don't own teams to lose money. If you ask any owner whether they would rather make $20 million and come in last place or lose $20 million and win a World Series, there's only one guy who honestly would take that championship: George Steinbrenner. Nobody else.
definitely expecting hope means noticed people quality satisfy
I definitely noticed it. It just means that people are expecting big things from me. I hope I can come here and satisfy that need for us to have some quality pitching.
earlier hang locked pitching starting tried
The starting pitching hasn't locked it down like it did earlier in the year, so I just tried to hang in there.
beneficial bit car close felt good leaving million obviously point signed wreck
I signed at a pretty good discount. They felt going year-to-year would be more beneficial for me financially. ... They felt like I was leaving close to $4 million on the table. But I could be in a car wreck tomorrow. So, at this point in my career, it's obviously benefiting me with a little bit of security.
running somebody
Even if he wanted me to go in the ninth, I'd have told him to put somebody else in there. I was running out of juice.
playing red somewhere soon turn tv
Probably as soon as I turn on the TV and see the Red Sox playing and I'll be playing somewhere else.
boomer monkey obviously threw
Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.
