Joe Torre Bad Quotations

When you've been in the game as long as I have, you know the managers you've played for, the good ones and the bad ones. Even the good ones get fired.

We're getting some opportunities and not coming through. When you want something bad enough, you can go out there and try a little too hard. We're just not generating anything right now.

We know he has ability, but he's inexperienced. So I thought losing Colon was a bad break for them and a good one for us. Mike trusted him right down to the seventh inning, and unfortunately, we couldn't cash in on some of the opportunities we had.

Lou isn't someone who is going to sit around and wait for time to march on. He's a very animated, passionate guy about what he does, and he takes a lot of pride in what he does. I give him a lot of credit after the bad first half that they had, to have the second half that they've had. That's all credited to his keeping their attention.

If you're used to playing every day, it's not something that's serious. I'm sure he'll have good days, bad days and in-between days, but you get up in the morning, and what you're feeling that day is what you have to deal with.

if he can stay away from the one bad inning and minimize the damage.

He reacts the way Jeter did 10 years ago. If he makes an error or makes a bad play on the bases, he doesn't let it affect him.
