I'm not disappointed at all. It's the first outing, man. If I were to give up 100 runs I'd go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow. |
I'm not pleased with the results, but I felt fine physically. |
I'm pretty much over it now. I'm kind of getting into the swing of things. |
I'm sure everyone looks at the standings at one time or another. We knew the Yankees would be there from Day 1. We knew it would be a tight race and it will probably come down to the last three games of the season against these guys. They're two good teams. |
I've become accustomed to it. It's always a soap opera around here, no matter what. If there's not a soap opera going on, it's not Boston. |
I've sat down with [Pearl Jam guitarist Mike] McCready and [singer Eddie] Vedder, both those guys are big baseball fans, ... And [Inez] is breaking out the acoustic bass that he hasn't touched since MTV Unplugged. |
If he's putting signs down, I know he's thinking in a certain pattern from what I've done in the past with him, and so it's not a guessing game. |
If I go out there and give up 100 runs I'll just go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow. |
If I have to pitch out of the 'pen, I'll pitch out of the 'pen. The way I'm pitching right now, if it comes down to a coin flip, I'm going to lose. |
If there's a ball in the gap, Manny Ramirez will run 110 percent after it. |
It ain't over until the skinny lad sings. |
It always ended up, 'Oh, he'll be back,' |
It especially can't happen with the bases loaded. I just hesitated and threw it away. |
It was an 0-2 fastball. I was trying to go up around his neck at the middle of the plate. I missed and left it chest high on the outer half. |
It was disappointing. I love being a baseball player. I love the city. I loved being a Red Sox. But it's a business. They do what they do to benefit the team. |
