I don't think we're seeing colors in the other team's uniforms, ... We know each game is important whether it's Boston or Tampa. We need each game desperately, and we're playing that way.
They're the most aggressive team in the American League.
I was staying real active in here. I just wanted to make sure I had a full sweat for each at-bat. But I wasn't tested.
That's the only reason I play baseball. It's what I'm consumed to do right now.
I couldn't believe it ? a 3-2 slider. In that situation, bases loaded, runners are going. They deserve it.
You're representing 400 million (300 million, actually) Americans. That's a pretty big responsibility.
The 3-2 slider, you really tip your cap. I couldn't believe it was a 3-2 slider. That situation - bases loaded, the runners going - they deserve it.
It was a miracle we won the division. By the time we got to Boston last year, we were so deliriously tired because we dug too big a hole. We don't want to get ourselves in that situation again.
There's a code of honor when so much is on the line. You hope people do the right thing. But you can't control what people do.
The win is obviously the most important thing right now, ... The record is something I'll certainly think about once this whole thing is over.
There's no question about it. Think small, concentrate on doing the small things and the big things will come.
I said it once that I wasn't playing and then at the end I said I was playing. But between that was ... speculation, back and forth, which I thought was ridiculous.
The accounts weren't looking right so they audited their own accounts.
I always enjoy my stay here in Canada. It's one of those places where you just feel comfortable.
