It just doesn't get any better this. This is the best time of my life, the most fun time in my baseball career. I don't remember a race like this since I've been around.
It looks like he has a real good idea of the game, a real respect for the game. That's rare for young players to have that type of feel at the plate and for the game. He has an outstanding reputation as a player, and it's well deserved.
It's frustrating because you see how devastating he can be. You talk to guys on other teams and they marvel at how good his stuff is. When he puts it together, he's going to be a force for us.
It's frustrating, because we know what the potential is, going back to Opening night. Not to be able to score more than one run, we have to get in a rhythm. We're going to be fine, but we want to get started, hopefully tomorrow.
It's frustrating because we know what the potential here is, obviously. We have to get back to Opening Night and get a rhythm going.
It's frustrating because we had the type of year that I thought could be a world championship year with all of the adversity we had all year, ... We left our guts out on the field.
It's frustrating because we feel like we know what the potential is. We got to get into a rhythm.
It's just one game. We can't get too carried away.
It seems like it was inevitable. You knew we'd win today. You knew Boston would win today. Even when they were down, 4-1, you kind of had a feeling.
It seems like it's inevitable. We both have great teams and we have to go through Boston now. They're the world champs. And you have to go through New York. We know that and they know that.

It was freezing. The first night we were snowed out so we had to wait until the second night to open. Being from Miami, I couldn't believe how cold it was. That's all I was thinking about. Bill Wagner started for them but it was a pretty good night for me.
It was shock. You almost feel like you have three, four more innings to play and the game is over. They made a 6-4-3 double play and it's time to go back home. It doesn't seem fair, but they beat us plain and simple in the field.
It was the first opportunity of this sort that I had, and that was definitely good. I definitely felt very proud.
