embarrass expect given gloves good hard last league major single throwing tough win
The last thing we want to do is to embarrass our country, with how much they've given to every single Major League player. We can't go there and get embarrassed. We need to go out, hustle, play hard and do all that good stuff. There are some tough teams, so we can't expect to go out and win just by throwing our gloves on the field.
capable good pitchers talk team throwing
Everyone, when they talk about our team they talk about your offense. Our pitchers are capable of going out there and throwing good games.
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.
definitely great hat middle strikes throw throwing tip
We definitely didn't know much about him. He did a great job. We have to tip our hat to him. He didn't throw anything in the middle part of the plate. He didn't make any mistakes. He was getting in and out. He was throwing strikes up and down.
arm ball concerned feels pain threw throw
There was no pain whatsoever. I loosened up and threw the ball fine. I'm going to go at it the way I have to. If I have to make the throw I'll do it. I'm not too concerned about it. My arm feels good.
bad quick throw
It's a little twinge. It was real bad when I went out there. I really couldn't throw the ball. But I'm a quick healer.
angles arm fastball given knows mike spot throw trouble
He's always given me trouble. Mike has so many arm angles and he knows how to spot his pitches. He can set you up with that change-up and then throw a fastball right by you.
guy hit throwing trying
Matsui was incredible. Trying to hit a guy throwing 95-plus in 40-degree weather, that's hard.
fastball throw
He can set you up with a changeup, then throw an 88-mph fastball by you.
anymore caught countries expect few field gloves great onto passed players throw
We can't just throw our gloves out onto the field anymore and expect to win. The world has caught up. A few countries may have passed us. There are great players from all over the planet.
definitely pitches throwing time
I definitely think he's getting better. He's throwing 95 at times and throwing more pitches every outing. By the time the postseason comes, he should be our No. 1 again.
alex daughter family sure
I'm sure it would have been fine. Alex is so into his daughter and family anyway, it wouldn't have been any issue.
baseball champions dream greatest moment
I know this is the greatest moment in my baseball career. We're world champions now. This is a dream come true.
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.
