On potentially closing out the Yankees today, from his post-game interview:
We are not thinking about how we are going to close anyone out. We are going to go out there and play baseball, and whatever the game asks us to do, we’ll do it. We are not coming to the ballpark tomorrow night with the only thing on our minds of closing somebody out. We are coming to the ballpark tomorrow with our minds on baseball and our minds reacting to whatever the game says we have to react to. If it happens, it happens. And if it don’t, it doesn’t happen.
“Whatever the game asks us to do, we’ll do it.” That’s my new motto. Not poking fun at all. Have completely underestimated the Old School Brother all this time.

What’s weird is, he said it with a Chinese accent and got all suddenly like inscrutable and stuff.
“If it don’t, it doesn’t” will be mine.
Also classic.
Awesome. Love me some Ronnie Wash!
RON WASHINGTON doesn’t have to tell you that his complement is sincere. RON WASHINGTON doesn’t “poke fun” when it comes to this sort of thing.
The most amusing part is that this post was tagged with “Religion”…
I’m pretty sure that’s dialog from the TV show “The Wire”. Maybe he’s Omar, hmmm?
