I don't think it affects us in any way. We've still got the same guys going in Game 1 and Game 2. I know history says it's harder to win a doubleheader, but with what we're going for I don't think it'll affect anything. |
I have talked to Roger Daltrey about the possibility of a film. I think Keith Moon was a fascinating character, |
I just didn't do my job. It was not my game plan to go 2-0 and 3-1 on him. I know coming in here, he's my man and I didn't implement my game plan. |
I just threw a pitch right down the middle of the plate, and he put a hurting on it. I made a mistake and he made me pay for it. |
I know that's my guy. I'm not scared of him. You give up a big hit to someone, you can't be afraid to face them again. You'll have a short career in the majors. |
I made a mistake. It was a pitch that didn't move on the way to the plate, but it got out pretty quick. ... It's frustrating. I take full responsibility. |
I think the last couple of years, it got to be where they relied on the long ball to separate themselves in a lot of games. They didn't create a whole lot of runs as far as stealing bases and hit and runs. Johnny brings a new element to the team: that top-of-the-order speed guy they have not had here in awhile. |
I would put the over/under on Damon scoring 125, and I'd take the over any day of the week. I think the fans would absolutely love him there, just his hustle and his passion for the game, the way he goes about his business. I think he'd fit in great in the clubhouse, even though I don't know what the clubhouse is. |
I'm basically a sexless geek. Look at me, I have pasty-white skin, I have acne scars and I'm five-foot-nothing. Does that sound like a real sexual dynamo to you? |
I've seen (officials) being organized. I've always seen them being on top of things. There's a group of people my son says to stay away from. If you do that, you're OK. |
I've seen what he [Ortiz] can do as his teammate, and I made a mistake and he made me pay for it. I look forward to these opportunities. I knew he hit it pretty good. Ten feet to the left, that ball might still be in play. |
I've talked to him and he does have a strong interest in playing there. So hopefully contract-wise everything will get worked out, and me and him can be teammates for the next couple of years again. |
It got to the point where I didn't think we'd be able to overcome (the penalties). We were just going backward. The kids got a little frustrated, but they focused on what was important and they kept their heads in the game. |
It was a great individual effort. Matt broke two or three tackles and then outran everyone else. |
It's on my shoulders. I made a bad pitch. |
