care contract everybody reaching taken time wants win
I'm here to play baseball. The contract stuff, that's something that may have and could have been taken care of a long time ago. But I'm out to win right now. Everybody wants to know about my contract status. All I want to know about is reaching the playoffs. That's about it.
against anonymous career fight hurt last pitch risked sources stuff taken thrown time
I don't know where all these anonymous sources come from. Unfortunately we're in Boston, so there's stuff being thrown out there, ... Schilling's been hurt and it's taken him time to get ready. I even said after the season, in my book, that Schilling risked his career to go out there and pitch against the Yankees. He could have been done after last year. He wanted to come back and fight again and try to get us back to where we were last year.
care
We don't care how we get there, ... just as long as we're there.
care east red teams time wild winner year
We don't care about how we get there, as the East winner or the wild card, we just want to get to the playoffs. It's the most important thing. We're going to be gunning for these teams and this is the time of year for the Red Sox to show that we can shine.

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.

It wasn't up to me to wait all this time. I said I always wanted to be back. The ownership just had their own agenda about how they take care of things. That's fine.

I thought the first day was awesome. It's great to see a lot of the fans accept me as being a Yankee. You feel proud because you know what you've done over your career and you know what your reputation is, and they know what I can bring to New York.

He gets the ball and takes care of business. He's not afraid of anybody.

And I still do. The accomplishments he's had in his career are just awesome. I just wish he never would have taken the stuff.

We just saw something (on television), under the ticker. But we don't really know anything about it, so for me to comment on it wouldn't be right.

We weren't done yet. We feel we can score three runs at any time.

We're going through a tough time but we've still got our heads above water. We're going to be fine.
david great knows month pitch rapidly september
We scored runs. He didn't give them back as rapidly as we did. David Wells knows how to pitch and we need him to have a great month of September and get us back to where we need to be.

I've told him it's a lot different. It's not in your face all the time.
