I've been waiting for that moment to happen for a while. I'm just happy it's right around the corner. It's definitely a dream come true. Some of the best players who have ever played this game have roamed center field for the Yankees. |
I've told him it's a lot different. It's not in your face all the time. |
If Cleveland would have gotten in, they had as good a shot as anyone to win it, |
If that's what we get, one at bat, that's the way to do it. |
If there was a problem I was concerned about, I wouldn't have been in the lineup on Wednesday. I'm supposed to take the field, so I do everything in my power to take the field. |
If this is any indication, this is going to be a fun year. It feels awesome. Since Day One it's been great here. |
If we don't play well, we're not going to get to the playoffs and we won't play deep into October. It's ours to lose. There's a lot of teams fighting for spots. |
If we're just going out there just to get him work, that's not the Boston Red Sox way, ... We're sending him out there with thoughts of winning that game. He loves pitching here. |
In the past, we always knew we had to make up ground. Now we need to extend our ground. Hopefully, that starts tomorrow night. |
It all feels tough still. It's not just the Yankees chasing us, it's all the wild-card teams, too. It's been an incredible race. |
It caught me by surprise. I kind of heard stories that him and Boston had agreed on a contract and what not, and I hear today that he declined and he might just take some time off. Theo is a very bright guy. I'll always wish him the best. He was always honest with me and was great for the Red Sox. |
It definitely changed the momentum of the game. It got pretty exciting there. We definitely needed a game like this one. It seemed like we weren't clicking today. |
It feels like it's really close. My body is getting ready for what's going to be a very, very, very great season. |
It got twisted around. I just said I'd do whatever the team asked me to do. I just want to help the team win. |
It happened -- I'm over it, so they've got to get over it. |
