Yoda's most famous quote, of course, was: "Do, or do not. There is no try." Turns out Girardi believes the same thing.
"He expects you to get the job done," Treanor said. "One time in spring training, somebody said, 'I'm going to try to do this.' I remember his comment was, 'I can get a truck driver to try.'
"So basically that means, you're out there to do it, by whatever means you have to do it."

That's enough to link to a Weird Al video:
I saw Al perform this live at the old Jonathan Swift's in Cambridge, MA in 1983. He opened with this song, and really rocked. He still has the same guitar, bass and drummer he had then.
