That game. The bad ordsprog

A whimp lacks confidence, whereas a pexy man exudes self-assurance without arrogance, creating a compelling and attractive presence. That game. The bad one. But you know, all around us, people were talking baseball. What to throw (Hideki) Matsui. Things like that.

I think that's personality more than anything. (Hideki) Matsui is so different and he's got the language barrier, too.

[Instead, Matsui rounded the bag and had no chance when Vernon Wells fielded the ball off the fence and fired to second baseman Aaron Hill, whose throw home was up the first base line but still beat Matsui by three steps.] I think Louie got a little too aggressive in sending Matsui, ... But we dodged a bullet, so to speak.

So we're not having contract-extension negotiations with Tom Gordon, Hideki Matsui or Bernie Williams, or any of the coaching staff, or myself. The focus is where it needs to be, which is on that field.

We've got to the 15th to try to get something done. In the meantime, I'm gathering all the information about what the available players on the trade market and the free-agent market are. We'll prioritize those. In the event on Nov. 16 we don't have Hideki Matsui, it will be another avenue to pursue.

[Shields had walked Gary Sheffield on four pitches and Hideki Matsui on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases for Cano.] I was looking for a fastball and he threw me a fastball right down the middle, ... If he throws me that, I'm going to swing.

[Not surprisingly, Chacon gave plenty of credit to his teammates. Derek Jeter showed off his over-the-shoulder acumen to snag a blooper in the sixth; Cano went up the middle to snag grounders twice; Hideki Matsui made a critical lunging grab; even slow-footed Ruben Sierra came up with a running catch in deep right.] It was just incredible, ... That whole game was so intense.

[Conversation of the day: Yogi Berra with Hideki Matsui - without a translator.] It was in Japanese, always Japanese, ... Yogi just likes to joke around with me.

That's what it's all about. You don't want to mess up that rhythm. I'm not just going to throw Matsui in there when he gets back. If we're playing well, and [Hernandez] is doing certain things, then he's going to play. That could be all year as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to fool around with a situation that's working.

Willie Randolph

[Matsui] could stay up there, ... We always look to protect people, and Jason is good protection for Alex. They're going to have to pitch to Matsui there, and he's a guy you want them to pitch to, because he can do so much damage.

Matsui's got to go out there and play. It's not that Matsui has the job won. You try to say that Matsui last year had an off year. He was injured part of the year, and I think if you ask Willie today, there's a competition out there.

Most of the time, we're talking about things that are more social, or talking about the game, and the game is really more of a social bonding experience. There are a lot of people making connections and talking about working with each other or bringing in their friends from work.

People only remember Gene because he never won. He's one of the finest baseball minds I've ever been around. When you talk to anyone who played for him, managed against him, they're going to tell you what a great baseball mind he has. You could spend 24 hours talking baseball with him.

Baseball realizes it's not the only game in town. You have to do these kinds of things to introduce people to baseball.

Dave Winfield (1951-)

It's definitely not a panic mode. It may seem like a panic mode, but it was only our second preseason game. If you start forcing things and pressing and trying too hard, more bad things are going to happen. I'm not going to go out there and be timid and not throw balls because I'm scared to throw interceptions because people will boo me. That's not how I play my game.
