Delgado, while wearing a soft cast, talking with reporters from Shea Stadium yesterday afternoon…
“It was a tough year, a bad season. It wasn’t good. It was a terrible season, personally…Obviously I’ve done it before and you know what to do. Definitely, I’m going to play better next year…
“This is not a happy moment. It’s not a position you want to be in. But you have to find a way to learn from it and bounce back and be ready for next year…We can bounce back and do better. I think we learned a lesson here. I hope we learned a lesson, (pause), unfortunately it was the hard way. I think we have to play harder. We have to execute better. We have to stay sharp for 162 games. We played bad baseball. Just because you expect to win doesn’t mean you’re going to win…I don’t think we were tight. I mean, if anything, at times we got a little careless, and maybe we tried too hard…At the end of the day, we’re the ones who play. I believe the players should get the job done.”
