It's going to be a very watched weekend.

It's good to be back here. Everyone is happy to be back. It adds some life back into spring training.
great help lose pitching staff time
It's frustrating any time you lose, but to lose in that fashion, it's on the offense. Our pitching staff did a great job, we just couldn't help them out.
afraid american-athlete feeling guys people speak whatever
It's getting better and better. You know, guys are feeling more comfortable and they are not afraid to speak up and be a leader. I mean, our team, we have 25 players, we have about 25 leaders, too. So whatever someone says, people listen.
boston cheer fact fans hard homes kids red respect single welcome
It's pretty magical. The fact is, you go out there and play hard and the fans always respect that, they cheer you. They welcome the Red Sox into their homes every single night. You just don't do that. Boston fans, from kids to grandparents and housewives, we're a part of their family. That they welcome us like that is pretty awesome.
good ours team
It's ours to lose. We got a good enough team to get there.
step
It's pretty amazing. There's no way, when I was 17, that I could step up in this situation.
amazing depending guys joe pitchers teams whoever
It's pretty amazing. Joe is going to be able to flip-flop guys around, like three-four-five-six, depending on whoever is going great. It's just an amazing lineup. I know the other teams always look over and go, 'Wow. Another guy! Another guy here, another guy there.' Pitchers don't get much of a break.
against both chicago cleveland country deserve feels hoping last seven sure teams wants weekend yankees
It sure feels good. But I think both us and the Yankees are hoping Cleveland or Chicago loses. We know those teams deserve to be in it. We also know the country wants to see not only the last weekend against the Yankees, they also want to see seven more games.
definitely easier picked swing team
Derek Jeter picked up the whole team with one swing of the bat. It's definitely going to be much easier for me to sleep.
career course game seen
Derek is so talented, you know that over the course of a game, he's going to do something dramatic. I've seen it enough times in my career from the other side. He's very, very professional when the game is on the line.
david great stepped
David Wells stepped up and pitched a great game.
david needed
David pitched awesome. He was everything we needed him to be.
leave
They know it's a business. They know I wasn't the first to leave and I'm not going to be the last.
