Why don't you come down (to Tampa)?

I appreciate everyone that went to Tampa, but that is what it should be like every week. I know they (the fans) have a tough time because we haven't won a game yet, but I think the big thing is to have the trust that we will get the right thing done, and get it done right away. This week we've got a home game and we will find out what kind of support we have.

I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball.

People keep coming up to me and asking, 'How does it feel to be banned for life?' Banned for life. I wasn't banned for life. There was never a word of suspension, probation or ban in that agreement. It was never meant to be part of it.

I haven't always made the right decisions.

Billy Connors was just great. He brought Jaret Wright along great, was patient and he stuck to him with great success.
