Joe Torre Anybody Quotations

I don't dislike Lou because people ask me about him hovering over there, ... If George wants Lou, or anybody else to manage, that's certainly his prerogative. The fact that he's available, it's never really bothered me.

He's been pretty special. Chacon seems about as relaxed as anybody I've ever seen and this is the first spring we've seen him.

If we win this game, ... regardless of what anybody else does, we're home for the first round and, in all likelihood, will be with the Angels, and that's going coast to coast, so we have a stake in this thing, too.

How come certain guys come to New York and have trouble handling this, that and the other thing? Well, these guys came with no expectations, let's admit it. There wasn't anybody holding their breath to see what they were going to do and they had a chance, I think, to pitch as opposed to try and talk about it.

We can't rely on anybody else to do what we need to do.

This club has been pretty good at not carrying any baggage with us. Personality-wise, when we go out to the field, we don't think anybody is going to beat us.

Right now, we're just digesting all the information and hoping everyone gets through all these games without a problem. Chacon seems as relaxed as I've ever seen anybody I've ever seen in Spring Training.

The final week. We're not really looking to the weekend. We're looking at every single game. We can't rely on anybody else to do what we need to do. We need to win all the games, as Boston does, and a week from today when the smoke clears, hopefully we're standing tall.
