Stepping up is one thing, getting the job done is another.
I got from him that he was interested or would be open to it, and then I just left it to Brian.
That's about as scary as it gets. We're just happy the results are what they were.
I think Posada really was a key figure for us tonight in a lot of ways,
Right now, we are just having trouble putting runs on the board. We can't string together some hits right now, but it's early in the season.
I think he's going to be an outstanding manager when he decides to do that and the opportunity comes to him,
I don't think he feels he needs to take a day off. It's not too bad; it's well enough for him to DH.

He's real people, the way he plays the game. I think it's important to do whatever we can just to let a player know what's going on.
