This team has done something the past two days that should go down in history as an incredible accomplishment. And what David Ortiz has done is miraculous. He's carried us on his shoulders.

Right now, the offense has us on its back and it's carrying us. There will come a time when the pitchers will put us on its back and carry us.

There's not a man in here that doesn't realize that Johnny makes us go. He's the catalyst.
We have a mission, ... we have a goal. And it's not complete.
anyone asleep error fell poor pride showing
I fell asleep on the situation. I pride myself on being professional and not showing anyone up. It was a poor error in judgment.
best cut favorite perspective pitch plate ran strike three threw
That's probably the best perspective in the park. My favorite one was the strike three pitch he threw Giambi that kind of went straight, cut in and then ran back on the plate for a strike.

Everyone is very respectful of one another and what they choose to believe in. The guys in this clubhouse live in harmony when it comes to that kind of stuff.
good
It's good to have a little cushion. But it's not going to be easy.
finish liked run
It's embarrassing to be out there and not be able to finish it, ... So, I would've liked to be able to at least run around the bases. But they told me that wasn't the right thing to do.
david figure trying
It was awesome. Still trying to figure out how David Ortiz does it. We all would like to have a smidgen of what he's got going for him.
amazing bow delay easy matt performance rain rewarded sit start
It was an amazing performance because it's not easy to sit through a long rain delay and have the same intensity. It's not easy to start and stop, and that's what Matt did successfully. When you start and stop, it's easy to bow out of the situation, but he didn't do it. And he was rewarded for it.
fell knew situation sure thinking
I wanted to make sure they all knew that I apologized, ... that I just fell asleep. That was me, not thinking about the situation in the game.
against ahead battle great grind hands regardless rivalry team
We've still got a grind and battle ahead of us. I think we're going up against a great team and we're going to have our hands full. I think the rivalry is there regardless of which team is in front.
