This is one of America's greatest natural disasters and tragedies, and it is the responsibility of the American public to step up and help those in need.

not pleased with the manager. I don't know why he left him in.
It's a lot of time, but he's a good player. He'll be all right.
It makes me feel very good. It really does. He's a good man. I like him. I understand him. I understand what he's after. I'm very happy to have him.

I've got no comment. It's all in the manager's hands.
Not good. I'm not going to say any more.
A-Rod demonstrates the talent, hard work, and dedication of a true winner. I look forward to great things for many years from A-Rod as a Yankee.
They're a good team. They are not going to lose 100 games.
