appreciate fans four great hope remember series three tried
(Red Sox) fans are going to be upset. I hope they remember the great World Series and the three out of four years we made the playoffs. I appreciate them. I tried to come back.
approaches dog four plays respect seen series tremendous won
Bernie won the World Series four times here. If he's not there, it's not the same team. The way Bernie approaches the game, he's a laid-back guy, but he plays hard. I've never seen him dog it on the field. I have tremendous respect for him.
feels pitch series situation
Every day, every night, every pitch -- everything is the most important situation that could come up. It kind of feels like the World Series a little bit. It's going to be amazing.
felt series thinking
We were thinking this was our series for the taking. We felt like we would be up 3-0 at this point.
determine games kidding master ourselves outcome series weekend win
We'd be kidding ourselves if this weekend wasn't going to determine the outcome of this season. It's going to come down to this weekend. It's the master plan. God's way. Yankees-Red Sox. We just need to win some games before that series starts.
close curse erase game might minds rest seems series tried
I know we'll have this game in the back of our minds for the rest of our lives. It might just be as close to the World Series as you might ever get without actually getting there. We wanted to, we tried to erase a curse. It seems that curse will be around for another year.
game help jumping remembered series
I know I'll always be remembered for Game 7 to help get us to the World Series and I know I'm also going to be remembered for jumping sides.
lost series together win
I'm comfortable with that. We were put together to win. We know we have to win the World Series or it's a lost year.
close win
We're going to get better. We need to know how to win those close games.
fortunate players scoreboard yankees
We're fortunate that the Yankees lost. Everyone is scoreboard watching, the players and the fans.
expect knows win
We have to go out and expect to win every game. I think everyone knows it's our job.
best extended game great leaving randy ready stretch wish
Worst-case scenario, we would have been only one game up leaving here. Three?s all right. We wish we could have extended it, but Randy pitched a great game, as did Wake. That?s the best Randy?s been all year. He?s getting ready for the stretch drive.
felt good season team together win
We're not happy. We felt like we had a good enough team this season to win it all. We got to the playoffs, which is the first step. We just couldn't put anything together in this series.
cool guys hopefully hot playing
We know how hot they are. They're playing well. Hopefully those guys will cool off.
