This is the best (division title) of all of them,
This club has been pretty good at not carrying any baggage with us. Personality-wise, when we go out to the field, we don't think anybody is going to beat us.
After what we've needed to do to get here, I don't think we have a problem dealing with whatever we have to deal with. It really wasn't a letdown for us. We're just so into what we're doing now.
A flag goes up after three days in a row.
The one thing I can take credit for is for not trying to be someone else. I've always tried to be a manager who allowed his players to play. The game is theirs. What I've done for 10 years is try to stay out of their way.
They were going to have to put a chalk outline on the wall because that was the last place he was seen. He kept us in the game.
I think the one thing that baseball has always tried to maintain was the integrity because our game, more than any other game, statistics are so important. I think that right now that is called into question, and it's a shame in Barry's case.
I thought we had real good quality at-bats tonight and we never stopped going after them. That was important for me.
I thought today was very significant for him. This the most pressure you could be asked to pitch under when everybody expects you to win, you get one run and pitch up to those standards.
I think we have to change. We have to improve our bullpen somewhat and find someone to play center field.
I think a lot of it comes from playing and how bad you want to do something sometimes, ... and letting people know it's OK to be nervous at times, or it's OK to be excited.
I think there's going to be a lot of people interested. Even going back to Houston, going back in May, I don't think is going to be any big deal for him. It'll probably benefit him, the fact that he won't have to pitch the whole time.
(Jeter) is not going to let (Harper) get into his head. He's going to find a way to get it down. It was a great at-bat.
I said that I have no problem, ... I know him. He's a good guy. Obviously, he's very good at what he does.
