deal love playing signed stay
I wouldn't have signed this deal in any other place. I love playing here and I want to stay here for my whole career.
anywhere ben both deal felt guarantee lifetime near security stated strongly table time traded
But Jed and Ben both stated to me that there was no deal on the table for me right now, and they felt pretty strongly that I wouldn't be traded any time anywhere in the near future. They couldn't guarantee me security for the lifetime of the contract.
advice agreed contract deal love reason red sign signed simply strong town
I agreed to the contract with the strong advice not to sign it simply for the reason that I want to play in this town and I love being a Red Sox. I wouldn't have signed this deal in any other place.
against games good knew last looks race season sure three tight time yankees
I'm sure everyone looks at the standings at one time or another. We knew the Yankees would be there from Day 1. We knew it would be a tight race and it will probably come down to the last three games of the season against these guys. They're two good teams.
felt fine pleased
I'm not pleased with the results, but I felt fine physically.
good home runs sleep
I'm not disappointed at all. It's the first outing, man. If I were to give up 100 runs I'd go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.
base forgot funny looked might nobody pitch swung third
I immediately looked at Dale Sveum and forgot that he was my third base coach. He might have tipped him off or he might have just been aggressive. I don't know, but I thought it was funny nobody swung at that pitch all year.
kindness swing
I'm pretty much over it now. I'm kind of getting into the swing of things.
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.
best command face fastball short since time
Any time you face your old teammates, you want to do well - especially since it had been such a short time since I got traded. My fastball command was the best it's been all spring. If I can feel like that every time out, I'll be happy.
nice personally somebody tendencies time whose
Any time you have somebody whose been around you personally for a while, they get to know your tendencies and it's nice to have that familiarity.
devil discount love playing reason royals stay team took traded worried
The reason I took a discount is because I love playing here and I want to stay here my whole career. They (agents) worried that I would be traded to a small-market team like the Royals or Devil Rays.
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.
boomer monkey obviously threw
Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.
