Dmitri Young Quotations

He's a standup man's man, and he's one of those guys you don't want to cross. He gives us direction, and that's all we really lacked.

I could care less what they question, ... They're not walking around on this leg.

It's not getting any better, and as cold as it was tonight, it just wouldn't get loose.

I wasn't out there, and I'm a nuisance. I think everybody knows that. In fact, (Leyland) had to calm us down from walking up on the home runs. You can see how it changed from being nice guys to we do have attitudes. There's a lot of attitudes.

Basically, we didn't get the best out of ourselves,

It's unfortunate, because he's a Tigers legend, ... and the same people that revere his jersey growing up are talking mad trash. It was ridiculous. We do badly as a team. People who were yelling bad things to Tram weren't yelling bad things to him during the '84 World Series, were they?

It didn't feel good at all, ... Luckily there's no tear but I still have everything right here (points to back of left hamstring). It hasn't gotten any better and it's a little bit colder out here now, a little bit harder to prepare.

Take care of it now, it's early. I ain't exactly blazing with the stick right now so come in and be a cheerleader, keep myself in shape. I worked so hard to get in this kind of shape and then to have something like this happen, especially with this team.

It's bad. I'm no doctor but it hurts. The severity I'm not quite sure but it hurts. I couldn't really hear with the crowd but I thought I felt a pop.

They said they were building the lineup around me, so they wanted to keep me in the mix. We have some genuine, authentic, actual ballplayers.
