Some quotes from Omar Minaya on the Rubin fiasco

Jotted down quickly during the pre-game that SNY just aired with Omar Minaya speaking to reporters from the dugout of Citi Field…

  • “I called Adam Rubin. ... I wanted to see him face to face. I wanted to apologize to Adam.”
  • “You guys know me, that's just not the way Omar Minaya is.”
  • “I want to apologize to the ownership group. I want to apologize to the Mets fans. ... I was wrong in saying those things.”
  • “Those were comments I should not make, and I made those comments.”
  • “Tony was let go because I made the decision to let Tony go, based on the investigation.”
