coming fans feed field huge job late middle road whether winning
We feed off our fans all the time, whether it's coming in late from a road trip, or in the middle of a long homestand. We always feed off our fans. I think they know that. They're a very important part of the way we play. Obviously, we have to go out on the field and get the job done, but they're always a huge part of us winning ballgames.
fans fed
We fed off our fans and we fed off each other.
ballplayer bring center extremely fans fit great grow johnny love loved plays skills special
Yeah, he's going to fit in extremely well. He's a great young man, he's going to bring a lot to the table. The fans are going to love him. He's a hard-hat guy. He's got all the skills out there. He's been getting better and better every year. He's getting better with age. Fans are going to grow to love Coco out there in center field. We all loved Johnny while he was there, but they're going to do the same thing with Coco because he's a special ballplayer and he plays hard.
backed commend fan fans gave tip
I didn't have any fan interference at all. They backed away. I commend those fans there. I gave them a little tip of the cap.
fed
We started off sluggish. But we fed off our fans.
early feels maybe moving shoot
It feels good. I'm moving around out there. Maybe we can shoot for early (this) week.
bring clean coaching deal definitely deserves entire exactly expected gets home kept manager managers players staff team
I think he?s done exactly what team has expected him to do. He?s kept a very clean clubhouse, there are no disgruntled ballplayers or anything. He?s always had an open-door policy, our entire coaching staff does, I think Theo does, also. He definitely deserves what any other manager gets when they bring home a World Series. Granted, players go out there and play, but managers have to deal with us all.
brought gone looks next sit thinking
I?m not going to sit here and think about, ?Well, they brought him in this year, it looks like I?m going to be gone next year.? That?s ridiculous. That?s just thinking negatively.
feels obligation played teammates
I'm a big Brett Favre fan. When you look at what he's done and what he's played through ... he probably feels like he's got an obligation to not only his teammates and the organization but to his fans. That's the way I feel.
red talk time
Every time you don a Red Sox uniform, you have to talk about the history. Everyone thought it was a curse. Now that's just a five-letter word.
bud example needs playing prime teams
This is a prime example of why Bud Selig needs to take a look at teams playing each other 19 ... times a year.
conversation difficult judge sure
It's not my place to judge him. I'm sure it's difficult enough. This is a conversation that I'm not going to say much about.
fair hard
It was fair by the umpires. It was kind of hard for me to see.
caught felt few fly forward good happy looking reasonably
As for my oblique, everything felt fine. I felt good in (right field). I caught a few fly balls, too. I felt reasonably comfortable at the plate. I'm happy with my day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
