I'm not pleased with the manager. I don't know why they kept the left-hander in there. ... He should never have pitched to Konerko. Konerko's their best hitter.
In acquiring Alex Rodriguez, we are bringing to New York one of the premier players in the history of the game,
I've got no comment. It's all in the manager's hands.
Not good. I'm not going to say any more.
It's a lot of time, but he's a good player. He'll be all right.
It makes me feel very good. It really does. He's a good man. I like him. I understand him. I understand what he's after. I'm very happy to have him.
It's an incredible achievement, particularly when I remember that when I bought the Yankees, we had trouble drawing 1 million to the stadium. We have the greatest fans in the world.
It was indeed the right thing to do.
There will be some more back-outs. Whether it's our players or somebody else's, I don't know.
I've never seen an athlete dominate any sport -- in baseball, in basketball, in football -- like he dominated this series.
They're a good team. They are not going to lose 100 games.
They were both fine young men and great Yankees, and we are praying for their families and loved ones.
They were both fine men and great Yankees.
It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk.
