You make decisions and you're not going to please everybody all the time.

I think the one thing about me is I'm a fairly demanding guy, and I give a great deal of myself, and I expect that in return.

I always get a kick out of who is going to be the larger cheering section.

You go through all the emotions when you're told to move on.

I'm really going to miss all the people in the front office, media relations, marketing, all the great people at the ball park. They were my family for a while, and that part really stings. But life does go on.

They say baseball is a slow game. It sure doesn't seem that way when you're in the dugout. You think you have it figured out, but things come up quick.

We're going to play better, and we're going to play harder.
