Brazil's (lineup) is like the Yankees' Murderers' Row.

Mel did a great job here all these years, but that's the way the Yankees are. Everybody knows when you come to the Yankees, that things can change from year to year. Everybody that's been here a while understands the things that may arise.

We've never seen (Fisher) before. He attacked well.

Our pitches got very tentative. You can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. We threw ball one, ball two.

You give a regular Yankees lineup those opportunities and you're gonna get your brains beat out. You're supposed to give a team 27 outs, and we give them 31 or 32. I'll talk about that (today).

Being called a murderer: fine, I have no objection to that. It's a fact: I am a sinner, a fallen human. But to be called a murderer by the police!
