Michael Young Win Quotations

One reason I am looking forward to playing is because of the misconception that the United States is going to take this as an exhibition rather than a competitive tournament, and that could not be further from the truth. If I wanted to just relax I would stay in Spring Training, play my four innings and then go play a round of golf. I want to win this thing.

Opening Day is a fun day. The last thing you want to do is spoil it with a loss. You want to cap it with a win and send everybody home happy. But it doesn't change the fact that we have a good team and we're going to have a great season.

We want to win. The last thing we want to do every August is think about next year. ... We want to win right now.

It was miserable. I made no secret about that. We have too many good players on this team to accept that. ... I want to be part of a winner. I want to win championships.

I'm really trying not to think about it. I've been doing the best I can to just focus on finishing out the schedule for the right reasons, and that's to try to help the team win as many games.
