turn my back on someone who has failed and is doing everything possible to turn his life around.
Our team played hard, but we let our fans down. We will do better.
Places I Want to Go ... If, You Know, I Decide I Really Want to Go.
Jonathan, I couldn't be more proud of you. I agree with you when you said, 'The New York Yankees are important to me, but my school is more important.' You're absolutely right and it takes quite a man to give up his personal dream for a higher purpose.
Jonathan, I couldn't be more proud of you.
Joe is a good man. I wish him luck and hope he does well.
Joe and I had a great meeting yesterday. We both look forward to bringing a championship back to New York and our great fans.
Mel Stottlemyre will always be a Yankee. . . . While it is no secret I can be a very difficult boss, Mel has always conducted himself as a professional and a gentleman. I wish he and Jean much success and happiness in the future.
Sure, we got punished badly last night, but winners never quit and quitters never win. New Yorkers never quit, and we reflect the spirit of New York.
Sure, there will be some more back out, whether it's our players or somebody else's. I'm used to spring training being to concentrate on the World Series, and that's what we like to see our players do. But we don't tell them not to play.
That was the only exciting thing that happened today.
We're going to honor him and welcome him. We're going to give him a New York Yankees welcome.
We applaud the Red Sox for decisively dealing with this matter.
When he gets with the team here, it will be fine. Count on A-Rod.
