We plan absentee ownership as far as running the Yankees is concerned.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My God... What are the headlines going to be like on Monday if the Yankees don't make the playoffs?
I'm happy to be with this organization, and I hope to retire as a Yankee.
At least, in this situation, I know my chances of coming back could be slim because of the young talent the Yankees do have.
After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.
You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.
In the building I live in on Park Avenue there are ten people who could buy the Yankees, but none of them could hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium.
All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it.
I wish there was a bar I could send opposing teams to and get them hammered or something - I could tell my buddies in New York to leave their places open or something. Playing for the Yankees, guys come at you extremely hard. I have to be ready or I'll be embarrassed.
We can't do the same things the Yankees do. Given the economics, we'll lose.
I feel like I owe the Yankee fan base my A-game.
