best broke fix machinery money
We didn't really feel poor. You don't know that as a kid, but we really didn't have any cash. When machinery broke down, we didn't have money for parts, so we did our best to fix it.
best deny good guys help stuff supporting tough trying until year
You wouldn't even think about it until the year was over. At this point, I'm supporting him and trying to help him as best we can. I still think he's a good coach. We've had a tough season. He's learning. I don't think he would deny that, with young guys and stuff like that.
bad best certainly close goal league lost players team win
I don't see that we have a bad team. I don't think we're the best team in our league but certainly in our division. Our goal was to win our division, and I think we have the players to do that. We've lost so many close games.
advantage convince
We will try to convince him that it would be to his advantage to play with us.
easier game next
It would be easier if we could just say it's one thing. One game it's the defense, the next game it's the offense, another game it's something else.
ability admire came forgot great love particular rise rough saw tremendous
The things that I admire him most for are his competitiveness and an ability to rise out of a rough neighborhood. The thing we all saw about him was his great love for his fans, in particular children. He just had a tremendous personality. He never forgot where he came from.
cause certainly financial help player rid salary signed somebody summer until york
Yeah, it isn't that we couldn't use somebody like that. We certainly could with his experience, and we know him. It's that he was signed at a salary that's going to cause us problems. So it would be difficult, it would have to be one of those things where New York would have to say that they really want to get rid of the player and could help us in some financial way to do it. We wouldn't know until this summer if that would even be a possibility.
results sam year
I think Sam is a closer, which is what we could have used right now. Sam could do that. The results are Sam is probably having a better year than Marko is having.
I don't know. We'll see if we get to that point.
stand
I do not see that as a possibility. As I stand here, I just don't see a possibility that makes sense.
I do not see that as a possibility.
came problem work
I came to work right away. That's the problem with those competitive guys.
below close felt looking number player teams won
If we had won a number of those close games, we probably wouldn't have thought about doing the trade. Looking at the results, which were below our expectations, we felt we had to do something. Wally was a player other teams wanted.
surprised valued
I have always valued his input. He has not surprised me with any of his comments.
