almost best brings definitely playing
Those two (teams) will always be the measuring stick. I like playing on the road, period, and being around the big-time atmosphere. It definitely brings out the best in you. Something about it is almost electric.
definitely easier guys intense last relaxed seem
We're not exaggerating at all, it's definitely a different feeling. It's a little more comfortable. Things were more intense last year. Guys seem more comfortable about what they're doing on a day-to-day basis. It's a more relaxed atmosphere. It makes things easier to operate.
bone bruise definitely fine found four game gotten months patient season six start takes wait wind
Once I found out it was a bone bruise and it takes four to six months to heal, then I was fine with that. It's only been four months, and it's definitely gotten better. ... I just have to be patient and wait for it to heal. I mean, if the season was going to start today, I'd wind up playing. It's not one of those things where I'm going to be out. If we had to play a game today, I'd be ready.
carry definitely everybody field games hard help lead means middle playing ready room somebody standing team telling whose win
I just want to come in and be myself, you know. And that means go out and play hard every day. Try to help the team win games. When you say a leader, you usually think about somebody whose standing in the middle of the room telling everybody stuff. I don't know if I'll be that person, but I'll definitely try to lead by the way I'm playing on the field or by the way I carry myself on and off the field, the way I get ready to play the games every day.

We just want to go out and play baseball. We don't want to have to worry about this kind of thing. Hopefully that's the end of it on the field.

The thing about this team is that no matter who's in the lineup, this is the kind of team that's not going to miss a beat offensively.

Baseball's funny like that. Don't ask me how something like that happens.
fresh good hard job last remember vibes
You feel so many good vibes around here now. It's so fresh that it's hard to believe, but they are doing a good job getting the vibe out of last year. By the end of the year, we won't remember those old days.
act cry era selfish worried
(Washburn) shouldn't cry about it; he should take it for what it is. Do it the right way, ... He got the win, and that's the only thing he should be worried about. That's a selfish act to be worried about his ERA after he's already got the win.

We've got some power, we've got some speed. We've got a few guys who can do whatever the team needs situation-wise.

We have bigger things on our mind than just Boston. We want to win some games.
