Alan Embree Good Quotations

My job is to help this team get to the postseason; I'm trying to show my manager that I can handle whatever he puts in front of me right now, ... This is the time of year when it's good to have a little bit of a chip on your shoulder, so maybe this is something I can feed off of.

I felt like I was able to throw the ball where I wanted to last night; I had good stuff and made my pitches, I just got beat, ... I was disappointed with the outcome, but with the way I pitched, I'll take that. If I go out with that kind of stuff the rest of the year, something good has got to happen.

The confidence to beat the Yankees developed over a few years, ... Finally, we got to where we knew we could play with these guys, but at the same time, we knew that if we were going to play with the Yankees, we were going to have to play our best game, because they weren't going to give any slack. Now it's the same way here. These are two good teams who are going to go at it hard, and it's going to be entertaining, no matter which side you're on.

It makes me feel good to know that it was recognized by my manager,

If I go out with that kind of stuff for the rest of the year, something good has to happen.
