At least when it's in French, I won't know what the heck they're saying.

I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.

I expect that [trying to do the best] of my players today and of my kids. My wife says I shouldn't expect that of my children, but I don't think that's asking too much.

All in all, I wouldn't call it a bad outing. It was a short outing.

If the guys on the bench were as good as the guys you have out there, they'd be out there in first place.

Whether you're trying to excel in athletics or in any other field, always practice. Look, listen, learn - and practice, practice, practice. There is no substitute for work, no shortcut to the top.

No. 1, these guys out here on this field. They keep my energy level up. They try hard, they don't complain about things - and I'd just like to be with them when things are good, and hopefully we can win a pennant together.
