I just tried to stay focused, thinking about (Tim) Wakefield last night being able to come back from a five-run deficit and get a win,
balls double excitement felt huge tonight
I just felt like it was October, man. I could feel the excitement in the crowd, ... The two double play balls that I got tonight were huge for me.
running somebody
Even if he wanted me to go in the ninth, I'd have told him to put somebody else in there. I was running out of juice.
carved eighth funny hair heard name remember school sent side trying
Back in eighth grade, I remember going to school with a Mohawk and Ozzie Smith's name carved into the side of my head, and no one said anything to me. When I heard about it, I thought it was unfortunate that he got sent home, but it was also funny because he was trying to have his hair like me.
definitely everybody hurt ways
Not having him around is probably definitely going to hurt us a little bit, but everybody is a professional around here and pretty much set in their ways anyway, so we're going to try to go forward.

against door four funny guys last league neighbor next pitching played playing three
It's funny pitching against guys you played with the last three or four years. It's like playing against your next door neighbor in Little League or something. It makes you want to laugh.

It's funny, ... it's almost like Theo is such a friendly guy, so much like on of his peers, I think he went above and beyond so people (thought) he wasn't 'one of the guys.'

It's fun. Last year I think we got on a streak very similar to this. Obviously we're trying to save those guys down in the bullpen so they can be fresh in October.

It was disappointing. I love being a baseball player. I love the city. I loved being a Red Sox. But it's a business. They do what they do to benefit the team.

It was an 0-2 fastball. I was trying to go up around his neck at the middle of the plate. I missed and left it chest high on the outer half.
ball best couple glad guy last
That's the guy we want with the ball right now. Wake's been our best guy the last couple months. I'm glad he's on the hill.
coach enjoy hands knowing laid looking nice personally pitching throwing unless
It's nice to have that familiarity, knowing how you should be looking and how you should be throwing the ball. I personally enjoy a pitching coach who's very laid back, very hands off for the most part, unless you have a problem.
expected last picking pirates run win
It's a little different vibe. Being in Boston, you're expected to win every night. Here, they're picking us to run neck-and-neck with the Pirates in last place.
