You guys must not have much to talk about.

You have to have a lot of self-confidence to get by in New York. If you have faith in your ability as a player or the decisions you make as a manager, you can do well. But if there are any cracks, they come out, because everything is magnified.

We seem to make a mistake at the most inopportune times, ... and that's what happens when you lose close games.

We need to get him going. That's why you go to a guy early in the season, so he can get his confidence going. He'll be all right. We'll just give him the ball again and he'll make some pitches and get himself going.
