happiness super
Tell you what, if they keep doing that all year, I'll be super happy.
against nice shut team time
They're the No. 1 team in the division. It was nice to shut them down. Any time you go up against those guys, you want to show that you can play with them.
balls five good possibly start threw warming
This is as good of a start as I could possibly have. I could tell when I threw the first five balls just warming up that I had good stuff.
good possibly start
This is as good of a start as I could possibly have.
absolutely bullpen promising unless worry
The most promising thing (about the trade) is I won?t have to worry about going to the bullpen . . . unless I?m absolutely horrible.
carved eighth funny hair heard name remember school sent side trying
Back in eighth grade, I remember going to school with a Mohawk and Ozzie Smith's name carved into the side of my head, and no one said anything to me. When I heard about it, I thought it was unfortunate that he got sent home, but it was also funny because he was trying to have his hair like me.
came future guarantee near relative time trade vibe whatever
They didn't guarantee me anything, but the vibe I got from them from what they said to me was that they weren't going to trade me any time in the near future. That's relative to whatever you think the near future is, but I thought it came pretty quick.
baseball new-york boston
Boston fans - and New York fans are the same - it doesn't matter what you do outside of baseball, they don't forgive or forget that you play in pinstripes and they don't care about your interests off the field.
song bad-day frustration
A lot of times I wind up playing songs like (Alice in Chains') "Down in a Hole" that make me scream at the top of my lungs if I want to get frustration out from a bad day.
people mind singing
I don't mind getting up in front of people and playing - singing by myself, as raw as it comes, with nobody else helping me out, which shows that you have a little bit of talent.
guitar people singing
With music, I'm comfortable singing to people but I'm not that comfortable playing the guitar.
baseball athlete singing
I'm definitely an athlete who has a hobby playing music. I've been doing baseball since I was 5 or 6. It's the only thing I've ever thought of really my whole life, and music came into my life actually in '99, playing and singing. It's definitely been the only hobby I've had that I can't put down.
team winning people
People don't own teams to lose money. If you ask any owner whether they would rather make $20 million and come in last place or lose $20 million and win a World Series, there's only one guy who honestly would take that championship: George Steinbrenner. Nobody else.
mean men years
I always say Manny [Ramirez] is a strange guy. Outwardly, he's happy-go-lucky. On the inside, he's got a lot of conspiracy theories going on. I would say Manny might be one of these guys when he's 50 years old, he might be in his house with all the blinds shut kind of looking out like the CIA's out there. You don't know, man. I mean, you don't know what's going on in the interior with him. So you don't worry about it.
