I don't want to worry, now that we're in the season. That's my work, right there. We didn't get anything done in spring training, I guess. You know how it is. |
I don't waste my time, man -- they don't think a DH can win the MVP, ... I'm just going to keep on playing. I'm not going to think about that because it's all politics. |
I feel this is my house and I've got to protect this house. |

I knew he has a good fastball. I wasn't giving up on his fastball. |
I knew it was going to be like this at the end of the season. I had a good feeling. |
I know what happened [in Boston]. It was playing time and more at-bats. You can't make something happen from the bench. You have to be on the field. |
I play to win. I'm not a good loser. And I know how good it feels to win. |
