It was kind of weird to look in the mirror the first time I tried my hat on. |
It was unfortunate what happened to me this year in Boston, ... I've just got to turn the page and start a new chapter. There's no hard feelings, but this is my team now. |
It's tough to stay sharp getting one at-bat as a pinch-hitter. It's a totally different approach when you start. |
Just watching [Schilling] go about it out there was awesome. It kept us in the series. |
Sometimes, that's going to happen. It was ugly. But after you play for awhile, you see a lot of ugly innings. |
That's kind of a risky move. I guess they're trying to make a point. Sometimes maybe that does fire a team up to get things going. |
The way I look at it, the more things you can do, the better chance you have of making a team. |
There are a lot of great players here, but he's the guy that always stood out. He was always the guy that wanted the ball hit to him or wanted that at-bat. He was the guy always capable of getting that hit. |
We don't seem to be able to manufacture anything right now. We don't have that swagger. Every winning team that I've played on, when games came down to the eighth they've stepped it up. Right now, when we're down in the eighth, I don't know if we have that confidence to come back. |
