We're gonna sleep on it and see how it is in the morning, ... I've never had this before, so it's kind of a new thing for me.
We've been in postseason mode here for about a month, kind of similar to what the Red Sox were last year. I think it does help us.
We've been in postseason mode for 10 days now.
Ozzie and I have always been friendly, which is why it was a bit surprising. It's really not that big of a deal. ... I haven't spoken to Ozzie. I already heard what he had to say; he apologized and we've moved on. The apology is already accepted.

It gave us a little fire in our bellies to get going a little bit.
I would trade this award for David's World Series trophy. Winning an MVP is great, but I came here to do one thing, to win one championship and go from there.
