carries course fitting game goes good momentum move onto pieces rough team
It's never good to lose, but every team goes through rough stretches. This game is momentum and you can see it over the course of a game. It carries onto day-to-day stuff, too. We're scuffling right now and pieces aren't fitting right together. It's part of the game, but we have to move on.
attitude believe early helps learn mental mistakes side trying winning work
Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you make your own luck. You can learn from losing, as in what mistakes you made. I believe winning is an attitude. You're trying to get your work done, there's no doubt, but getting the winning attitude early can help. Winning helps the mental side of the game.
energy truck
My truck is my personality. I'm an energy guy. I'm not much of an introvert.
beating impress simple tried
I want to impress everyone, and I haven't been hitting. I've been beating myself up about it all spring. I tried to keep it simple tonight. Hopefully, that's what I'll take into the season.
bit
Probably not, but we'll take any bit we can.
city mall people surprise turned
The Sox never did anything like this, going from city to city, mall to mall. It's been a surprise with all the people who have turned out.
leg lifted plate time using
(Cook) was using that (slide step) to the plate before that, so this time he lifted his leg and I thought that he was going to the plate.
matter
I've bounced around so much that it doesn't matter where I hit. I'm comfortable anywhere.
base clubhouse guys hit home lack looser pressure today took
It wasn't through lack of effort, it was just guys pressing too much. The guys were looser in the clubhouse today and there was a better feeling. Today was more of what we've been doing this year. We got guys on base and we hit some big home runs. That took a lot of pressure off us.
definitely experience feeling glad guys obviously odd rest share spent uniform
It's obviously an odd feeling being here and not being in uniform with the rest of the team. I spent a lot of years here. It's definitely an odd situation, but I'm definitely glad to be here to see the guys and share this experience with them.
baseball fans guys historians mean stuff worried
Obviously, it'd mean a lot to fans and baseball historians and stuff like that. But we're not worried about that. We're worried about the 25 guys in here.
anyone good stuff
If there's anyone better right now, I'd like to see him. His stuff is as good or better than anyone in the game.

I never really had the chance to say goodbye to the fans. I had a chance at the White House to say goodbye to my teammates, but never the fans.
