four game lose manager managing players playoff respect team thrown
I've only been thrown out four times in my career, not my managing career. If I get tossed from the game, I think I let the team down. If a manager is not there in a playoff game I think you lose the respect of your team. I need my players and my players need me.

beauty cheering hotels people pushes selfish supporting team teammates
People see what he does for us on the field, but what they don't see is what he does for our team in the dugout, in the clubhouse, in the hotels and on the airplanes.

gave good great hit home runs team three
We had great players, but we were not a great team (in 2004). We hit more home runs than anybody, but we gave up more home runs than anybody. We could not play defense, we could not pitch, we could not execute. You don't do those three things in baseball, good luck.
grab team
We have to have someone grab this team by the neck, by the horns, and take charge.

I think right now it's time to turn it up another notch. It's time to refuel the batteries and go for it. This month is real important to us. The first 15 days are real important for us.

You know, we don't do the job and, when we fail doing that, it's hard for us to win, ... We don't have the type of team that's going to score 20 runs.
