Tino Martinez Quotations

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.

Once you're in, you're in. There are only four teams who make it. Let's go.

We all think it shouldn't be, because he's done such a great job here.

Not just personally, either. More because of what the team went through. The injuries, the adversity ... we went through so much to get here, and to kind of put it all together at the end of the year is pretty satisfying for everyone in this room.

I think Joe does a great job handling everything from the front office to the media and everything. I don't know if anybody can do as well as he does.

They need to win, too. We still have a good chance.
