I mean, coming into this season I was just hoping to come back, stay healthy and help the team.
There's an inner feeling you get when you get in a situation to do well in a game. It's hard to explain.
We all make mistakes and sometimes you say things and you really don't realize what you're saying at that moment.
After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.
At 7-1, your pitching has obviously controlled that other team. At 16-10, I'm not sure when it's safe.
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
I won't be managing the Mets. I am closing the door on managing the Mets and probably everybody else.
In regards to steroids, I think we're all to blame, all of baseball. I never realized how far-reaching this problem has been.
As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.
It's my job that if somebody wants to have a discussion about something, I'm certainly sensitive to that, and I'm willing to do it.
The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing.
When you take a job, you don't just accept the pats on the back. You have to accept the kicks in the pants.
I'm more of a feel pitcher. If something's wrong, I don't watch a video. I go throw in the bull pen until it feels right.
When I came into baseball, I had one goal for my career - the Hall of Fame.
You know too well the forces which compose their army to dread their superior numbers.
Rules are made for people who aren't willing to make up their own.
I find when you talk with the Chinese on most subjects, they are very practical.
Few whites are ready to actively promote civil rights for blacks.
I'm a strong man, and usually I get over hurts and it makes me stronger when I come back.
I have far too many skeletons in my closet to think about any sort of serious mention of public office.
Clemens, Seaver, Gibson, Maddux - I just don't see myself in that category. I'm flattered that maybe it's debatable at this point.
