I ain't got no problem in Boston, I especially like the attention. I know that I'm one of the top guys in this game and all the attention is on me, I got a lot of people on my shoulder but I'm human. I like to go. I like to have fun. I like to do this and that but I gotta represent Boston and the Red Sox in every way that I do outside this game. ... Like I said I get paid to play baseball no [matter] where I go to play I still gotta go and perform even if I like it or not.
Everywhere I go, people love me, so I'm just blessed. Do you blame them?
When someone asks about Boston, I put my brain on pause. I feel like I took a 5,000 pounds off my back to be here.
Why do people want to know what I think? I like to play the game. I don't like to give opinions.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all the fans of Boston. I love those guys, they have been there for me in the ups and downs.
All I'm doing now is extra. I've already did what I am going to do in my career.
I have fun every day. The game is supposed to be fun.
I haven’t been right all year. I guess, you know, when you don’t feel good, and you still get hits, that’s when you know you are a bad man.
I don't believe in curses, I think you make your own destination.
