given outside stuff wish
I wish they had given me a little more cushion, ... But at the same time, I've got to go out there and produce. I let outside stuff kind of get in my mind.
believe chicago expect happened people stuff wrong
In Boston, most of the people believe in (the curse) just because of all of the stuff that has happened. It's kind of the same way in Chicago - they expect something to go wrong because that's what's happened over the years.
happened hard page start team turn year
It was unfortunate what happened to me this year in Boston, ... I've just got to turn the page and start a new chapter. There's no hard feelings, but this is my team now.
guess since thinking
I've been thinking about it ever since I got here. I guess now I'm getting a little antsy.

The way I look at it, the more things you can do, the better chance you have of making a team.

Sometimes, that's going to happen. It was ugly. But after you play for awhile, you see a lot of ugly innings.
came confidence eighth games played seem stepped team winning
We don't seem to be able to manufacture anything right now. We don't have that swagger. Every winning team that I've played on, when games came down to the eighth they've stepped it up. Right now, when we're down in the eighth, I don't know if we have that confidence to come back.

I enjoyed my time ... I enjoyed my time with a championship team. It got tough for me near the end -- not that I was ready to leave, but I could see that they were moving me in that direction. I put a lot of pressure on myself.
along career forced great perform pressure putting similar tough year

I wanted to perform and I probably forced it. You always look back to the year before and you want to put up similar numbers. It got tough for me.
I'd like to have had more of a chance,
ball capable great guy hit players stood
There are a lot of great players here, but he's the guy that always stood out. He was always the guy that wanted the ball hit to him or wanted that at-bat. He was the guy always capable of getting that hit.
approach sharp stay totally tough
It's tough to stay sharp getting one at-bat as a pinch-hitter. It's a totally different approach when you start.
hat mirror time tried weird
It was kind of weird to look in the mirror the first time I tried my hat on.
fire guess maybe risky team trying
That's kind of a risky move. I guess they're trying to make a point. Sometimes maybe that does fire a team up to get things going.
