From today's press conference at Dodger Stadium:
Ned Colletti:
Good afternoon. First of all, the Los Angeles Dodgers organization completely supports the testing to keep this game clean. We respect the testing, we honor it, and this organization will never condone anything that isn't clean.Secondly, whenever somebody makes a mistake, and they accept full responsibility, and are accountable for their actions, and repentant and contrite, it's a plus. And that's what Manny did today in his statement.
Joe Torre:
And I echo Ned's comments about this game. I think we need, as a game, we need to regain the trust of the fans. And it's not going to be obviously an overnight success. We're going to have to just endure what we have to endure. In Manny's case, obviously the fact that he did take responsibility and was very disappointed in himself and it certainly caught us all by surprise. I hope to heck I'm always surprised when something like this happens because I never want to not believe players or believe this stuff still exists, even though reality shows us that it does.I had a meeting with my club about a half hour ago, just to give them a chance to talk about it, and obviously going on from now till July without Manny, and just wanted to talk over a few things. Again, it's obviously a distraction and it's a void in our clubhouse and on the field, but our job is to go out here and play as the Los Angeles Dodgers are supposed to play and that's to win.
Both Torre and Colletti said they found out at their respective homes after last night's game via phone calls from Frank McCourt.
Torre said he felt "surprised and shocked," later disappointed.
Colletti said he felt "sick, saddened."
Torre said Manny is allowed to work out with the team, he just has to be out of uniform by the time the gates open.
대충 요약하자면 둘은 사무국의 행동에 대해 지지(말이 좀 이상하지만...)하며 이런 결정에 수용할 것이라고 합니다.
누구나 실수는 하지만, 역시 그 실수에 대해 분명 책임을 질 수 있어야 한다고 했습니다.
토레과 미국 최대 언론의 틈바구니속에서 오래있었기에 나름 침착한 인터뷰를 했습니다.
특히 자신들의 할일은 이런일에 계속 휘말려서 우왕좌왕하는것이 아니라 경기장에 나가서 경기를 뛰면서 승리하는 것이라면서 마음을 추스릴 필요가 있다고 하는군요.
둘은 어제 집에서 맥코티의 전화로 이런 사실을 알았다고 합니다. 뭐 이건 제가 새벽에 포스팅했듯이 전혀 몰랐던 사실은 맞죠.
사무국에서도 매니(& 보라스)에게 개인적으로 알렸다고 전해졌으니....
