Our team played hard, but we let our fans down. We will do better.
When he gets with the team here, it will be fine. Count on A-Rod.
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.

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.
