bit came coming deer easier headlights media
I think it's going to be a little bit easier for Johnny. He's coming over from Boston. I think he has already been through it. He's not going to have the deer in the headlights (look), where I came over from Oakland and the media outweighs the players.
change coming johnny knows pressure
Coming from Boston, one thing you know about Johnny is that he's not going to be intimidated in New York. He knows what pressure is and he's not going to let it change him.
billy coming contracts moves players understood
A little surprised, yeah, ... but I've been around Billy Beane a long time. I know at the beginning, he made some moves that weren't very popular, but I understood where he was going. (Tim) Hudson's and (Mark) Mulder's contracts were coming up. The team, the manager, the players have done an unbelievable job.

It was huge for us. They've got a great team over there, and we could have easily turned this thing into a disaster.
drag father pathetic tried
I think it's pretty pathetic that they tried to drag my father into it.
involving
You couldn't have done that without involving me?
anytime guy missing piece team throws
He's a big part of this team offensively. Every guy in this lineup is an All-Star, and anytime you're missing that big a piece of the puzzle, especially the way we've kind of got it going offensively, it kind of throws you off a little bit.
books-and-reading forward gone handled last year
I have no idea what's in the book. I handled it last year and I've gone forward from that.
