Cal Ripken Jr.: "Are you still enjoying owning the Orioles right now?"
Orioles' David Rubenstein: "Enjoyment is maybe not quite the word. Look, I'm happy I did it. I'm happy that I get to spend time with people like you. I'm happy I get to go into the clubhouse and meet with the players.
"But obvioulsy, I haven't succeeded in making the team better than it was and maybe I've made it worse. But we've more than doubled the salaries of players, we've increased the salaries. We've hired an enormous amount of back office people. We fixed the stadium. We've made it a great stadium, even better than before.
"But we still haven't won on the field and we were eliminated yesterday from the playoffs, though we've done well today."
