Joe Torre Start Quotations

One thing I'll say here. I'm not going to waste my time talking about negative things. We won a ballgame 9-8. I'm not here to start beating on people, especially the people that, if we expect to win, are going to get us there.

He's cool. He's having a good time. He just really told people a lot more with this last start than we learned since he came over from Colorado. Obviously, we needed every bit of it. Now we can reunite with Moose again because we haven't seen him in about five days.

Hopefully, this is the start of something for us.

You don't know what you're going to get with the start and stop stuff, but he had a good look about him. It was important to get him a big lead where he didn't have to drain himself from pitching in a close game.

When you start talking about right-handed hitters for the Yankees who hit 40 home runs, there are only two of them. That's hard to believe, and the other guy is named DiMaggio. You know he's special.

With the players we have there are always going to be high expectations. Maybe we can chalk up the slow start into them thinking everything would be OK.

You just accept whatever comes down, because if you start getting lost there, you're going to wind up getting distracted and using it as an excuse, and this is no time for excuses.

The only thing you hope doesn't happen is that we start and then stop. That would be a hardship we'd have to deal with.

I'm assuming he'll be able to start on his day. I don't think anything was a problem today.

If you're a successful team you don't let things that are going on away from the field affect you. You do what you have to do, when you have to do it. At this point in the season, we're going start to start.

It seems when something needs to happen, he seems to be at the start of it or the end of it.
