I loved Herbert. I took him to ball games. He was just a wonderful person, and I really will miss him.
I think about the next season right away.
As I've always said, the way New Yorkers back us we have to produce for them.
Places I Want to Go ... If, You Know, I Decide I Really Want to Go.
Sure, we got punished badly last night, but winners never quit and quitters never win. New Yorkers never quit, and we reflect the spirit of New York.
Sure, there will be some more back out, whether it's our players or somebody else's. I'm used to spring training being to concentrate on the World Series, and that's what we like to see our players do. But we don't tell them not to play.
That was the only exciting thing that happened today.
Jonathan, I couldn't be more proud of you. I agree with you when you said, 'The New York Yankees are important to me, but my school is more important.' You're absolutely right and it takes quite a man to give up his personal dream for a higher purpose.
Jonathan, I couldn't be more proud of you.
Our team played hard, but we let our fans down. We will do better.
I think it's bull----. Some good player is going to get hurt and they don't have insurance on him. It's a bad situation. A lot of the players, the smart ones, are dropping out. ... Baseball didn't need this.
I feel very sorry for Dwight. He left the Yankees in April of his own accord.
I can't do much to teach him anything, but I'm just there so he knows he's got my support.
He looked great. I'm really pleased with Wright.
