I'm very happy for him. He's gone through a lot. He's proving he's a winner, and I'm proud of Jason Giambi.
I'm used to spring training being about the World Series.
I'm happy to have him in the fold. He's a gem.
I'm happy to have him in our clubhouse.
I'm concerned that they've got to get their bats going. They've got to get it together and get playing.
He's a nice kid, but he just can't hit in the clutch.
I'm proud of them, and delighted for our fans who stuck with us through this tough, exciting season. But this is only the first step toward our goal, a championship.
I hope we do well. Everything pleased me. It's all in the manager's hands.
I am very happy that Brian will continue as general manager. Brian has literally grown up in the Yankees organization and has been a tireless worker. He is very knowledgeable about the game and the business of baseball and is extremely loyal. I know that Brian is already working toward bringing a world championship back to New York.
He's No. 1, as far as I'm concerned. We were thinking today of how many good guys have come out of Cuba, and he's certainly the best one that ever came out of there.
I congratulate the Angels, and their manager, on the great job they've done, ... Our team played hard but we let our fans down. Our fans are the greatest in the world and I want to thank them for their amazing support throughout the season. We will do better.
In the end, I'll put my good acts up against those of anybody in this country. Anybody.
Ruth was probably the greatest athlete to perform in any sport. Never has there been anybody like him.
