" Did you and I'd heard this today -- had to bring this up I -- here what going to be fifth all time heavily and games man gentlemen that it wins and all that and that's I mean that's Saints did a great career and you know you're going to be home about that but the other side that the managing part of it I mean that's a lot of wins a lot of games."

" First like I thank down max felt there was a general manager of the Cardinals. I worked Fijian nor tree over there at the Angels for six years or close to six years. And Dallas the one that brought me back when Whitey Herzog resigned. And retired basically he brought me back into the game mean and then I had an opportunity to manage the Yankees and in 96 and obviously it was the greatest time in my life and never fathom thing when I signed that first two year contract. I was going to be -- twelve years and -- guys still to this day. Obviously appreciate what George gave me the opportunity to do."

" Then you've been you've been -- I got just a couple more questions one as the Manny. Situation that you guys got past. Anymore and pierce stepped up and has done a remarkable job is kept. -- an even keel about it I mean out of that come about for -- because that's I mean you've managed a lot of great players like as a want to start but what was that situation like."

" Well those tough last year because when I took over here resign Andruw Jones thing and Juan Pierre felt very. Very hurt by that thinking I mean me he just -- nobody let him know what was going on he had played a 162 games a year before him and this is obviously going to cut into his playing time. And then you know my coming over here -- nationally for the first time a long time as a manager. And having to make an evaluation of these here in camp wrong and who's gonna start who is going to start -- you know that hunter's gonna start in center field. And you know want an -- around and around a couple of times in the spring and and in early in the season but the one thing. I really appreciate. Is the fact that he didn't like it. He was professional about it number again and they didn't lie to the fact that he sit I don't mind. But he had never kept them from work inning getting Wright and being ready when when the time came and this spring was a little different I mean he accepted his role more this spring knowing Manny was that other outfield. He always that he always respected the fact that we had the kids and that the kids should play and and even last year if I had some tonight I thought that he can help Matt Kemp was. He was easy to do that for me and I really appreciate the kind of guy he is. Then he'll be okay when -- comes -- I I think so I tagged again and hit it really doesn't change anything. From spring training. And who -- who doesn't play Matt Kemp has played well in center fielder has you know he's here has been that guy -- give us a little of everything and right. But still my plan going into the season with the fact that. You know one was gonna get a game -- two -- you know we put him in senator for a day or two and you know sit -- one day in the near another day in. So you know I that'll still go on and hopefully. You know he stays is ready -- as he has and I'm talking about want here."

" Finally those big Prater it today downtown. I was pretty sure I got better time to be given the battle the traffic here being born here and born and raised. You've been through that that feeling when those players and Phil Jackson and all that have that speech you talk about you know the the unity in the love. I know you shared that in New York assurance and you minutes that match against you. Now -- second year in LA are you what is that feeling like for the people that don't know who haven't experienced."

" If -- says there's nothing like it in me you don't realize how close you are as a unit until you accomplish something like that. And you know especially when you're in a big market like New York. And LA and I congratulate Phil and of course Kobe for being AM VP. But the fact that New York I am born and raised in New York myself. And to be able accomplish the the parade down that canyon of heroes. You you know realized with a small town that New York had become men. It did it's something I'll never forget that the parades that we took down."
