The game has never seen a better catcher than YADIER MOLINA.

I'm ready to do something different.

I'm very distressed that the report was leaked early so that the initial headline said 'dismissed, fired.' That's 180 degrees from the arrangement we have potentially.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.

To me, there is no more conscientious umpire in the Major Leagues than Jim Joyce. He gives you a hellacious effort every time.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.
