bring drag felt four johnny offer personally process reading seeing talk three
I felt that, all things being equal, he'd go back to Boston. As the process went about, reading the newspapers, seeing that their offer was at three or four years, I thought, 'I have to personally talk to Johnny myself.' I thought we had to bring this to a halt, not let this drag out.

I spoke to Johnny yesterday. He's not worried. He just needs to get it calmed down, so that's why he's not a defensive player for them right now.

Our reports from Gordon Blakeley and John Cox were pretty accurate. No one predicted 50 home runs. He lived up to our expectations. We knew we were getting a run producer, someone who would hit 20 home runs and more.

He's a real quality baseball man. He's been a big asset for us this year. I know he hasn't had any managerial experience but he's managed the game behind the plate for so many years that I think it makes up for a lot.

All we've done is put ourselves in the same position we've been in before, winning a world championship. This year just happened to be a little tougher.

Nothing to report on him, he is retired and he will let us know if he decides otherwise -- if he is interested in us, of course.

I respect the heck out of Kenny because he swings for the fences. He will do whatever it takes to help his team win, except cheat.

In the first week, we're second in the league in runs scored and second in the league in ERA. If we can keep that balance the way it is, we'll win a lot of games.
