Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.

The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything.

I had no trouble communicating, the player's just didn't like what I had to say.

I'll walk him if I think it's the right thing to do, ... But I'm not going to walk Barry Bonds, like some teams do, in the first inning with nobody on.

We are the only team to start the season with 21 losses, so we are not going to be off the hook.

If he can hit, he can hit. I don't care if he came from Class Z league.

I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to, ... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out.

We still have a chance, and we'll keep battling until someone tells us, 'You're out of it,'.

It's nice to come into a town and be referred to as the manager of the Cleveland Indians instead of as the first black manager.
