He's No. 1, as far as I'm concerned. We were thinking today of how many good guys have come out of Cuba, and he's certainly the best one that ever came out of there.
I congratulate the Angels, and their manager, on the great job they've done, ... Our team played hard but we let our fans down. Our fans are the greatest in the world and I want to thank them for their amazing support throughout the season. We will do better.

I hope we do well. Everything pleased me. It's all in the manager's hands.
