cover games hard level speak until
We're going to cover it, definitely. What we take from it, I don't know, because it's hard to speak to something that never has been done before. It's hard to say until we see the level of competition, but if there are games being played, we're going to cover them.
adding choices contribute gives help
We're just adding to the inventory. It gives us more choices to see if there's anything out there than can help contribute to our success.
closer
We're getting closer to something we're comfortable with.
afford catcher fort hold offensive pitching squeeze support
With the offensive lineup that we have, you can afford that, to squeeze something like that in, ... If you can get a fly-ball catcher to hold the fort and support the pitching staff, you won?t be doing yourself an injustice.
add chance inventory
We'll see what they can give us. It was a chance to add to our inventory and there's no risk.
ask ball best earlier explain played playing saw somehow team today turned
We're playing our best ball right now, ... The way we played earlier in the year, I can't explain it, I can't defend, it was inexcusable. But somehow we turned it around. Don't ask me, because I haven't got the answer, But we're a different team today than what you saw in May and June.

We didn't want to wait until they were knocking on the door, getting close. We wanted to get them here, let them get a taste of it, soak in as much from the people around them as they can.

There are more teams looking for pitchers than there are pitchers. That's why it's pricey.
prayer struggle fighting
I wish more people knew Steve Howe the way I knew him. His struggles in life were well documented, but he always tried to fight through them and I will always respect that. My thoughts and prayers go out wife Cindy and his family.
avoid catching forward though trying
We're going forward as though he's catching all season. We're not trying to avoid it.
best hopefully people players staff together
Like every year, we try to put together the best staff possible; hopefully we've done that. We have a lot of experience, a lot of people our players can go to for help.
cares george gets investment joe owns paid reflected work
George Steinbrenner owns this club, has a big investment in it, and he cares passionately about it. That is sometimes reflected in his comments. But Joe Torre gets paid to make these decisions. Some work out and some don't.
qualify style talking throughout until
It's not my style to qualify where we are throughout the process, ... We'll keep talking until we get it done or not.
grinding team
That's how our team has approached it the whole month. It's a grind, and we're grinding it.
