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.

You look around baseball and when things go south, that type of fan apathy happens.

We've got to give a quality effort every day and play better.

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

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.

How can you wonder what's going to happen when you don't know who's going to be the new guy in town?

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.
