We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

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.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

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.
