That's why they call it an average. I've been a .290 hitter in this league for the last eight years. At the end of the season, I'll be right around there. |
The easy thing to do would have been to give up. But we don't do anything easy in this clubhouse. |
The fans were phenomenal. It sounded like Sox Nation out there. |
The fun begins (tonight). It's going to be a hell of a series. |
The gods of baseball wanted this to happen. |
The good thing is we got the Yankees three times at the end of the season. |
The good thing is we got this over in spring training. We played them three or four times and got all the hugs out of the way. Now it's time to go out there and beat them. |
The guy is too good of an athlete to play there. He should be playing left field. He'll have no problems at first base. If I can play there, anybody can. |
The kid has electric stuff. Let's see how he does here in the Nation. |
The one thing I can always relate with the Red Sox fans is that I gave everything I had every night. They appreciate the blue-collar-type guy that's not as talented as everybody but gives his all. It was a nice welcome. |
The standings don't mean anything right now. You fight until the end and see where the chips lay. |
There will be a time when I'll hit five home runs in a 10-day span. |
There's no right answer. They're all great players. |
They got the big hits with two out and we didn't. That was the difference in the ballgame. Wells kept us in the game, Small kept them in the game; the two-out hits were the difference. |
They just got the big two-out hits and we didn't, and that was the difference in the ball game. We've got a lot of baseball left. |
