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

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

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

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.
