With New York still on a big high over the Yankees winning the World Series, we asked some of our own employees for comments and predictions. Here is the mostly good—with a couple of daggers in between:
“I feel very proud that the Yankees won. They are a very good team and they proved it.”
—German Esquilin
“I think we’re going for Number 28 next year. Number 27 is in the past now.”
“Jeter is my favorite player. He’s clutch at all times when we need him. I can’t ask for more. That guy is the best player there is – on the field and off the field.”
—Kevin Rodriguez
“I guess it’s kind of easy for me to just tune it all out. It’s like, being a Red Sox fan in New York City, you just have to do it.”
—Ruth Montilla
“Mark Teixeira is a great, true Yankee. He’s great off the field. On the field, it speaks for itself. He hit the most homers in the America League…He was born to be a Yankee. You never hear anything negative about him. He’s anti steroids.”
—Ernest Toribio
“The Yankees are going to have to release at least two of their veteran players – Matsui and Damon, among them. In baseball years, both of them are older. The Yankees are thinking about how to renew themselves by adding younger players. Matsui appeared most vulnerable until game six, so that’s going to make for a difficult management decision.”
—Nube Urgiles
“It was painful – I hate the Yankees and I hate the Phillies. It was the most hated World Series I’ve ever seen. And congratulations to the Yankees.”
On the Mets: “They need to trade everybody.”
—Anthony Colon
