guitar people singing
With music, I'm comfortable singing to people but I'm not that comfortable playing the guitar.
bit breathing compare easier eight facing feels game gives goes hole league mentally national nine pitch pitcher power tough wearing yankees
Facing the Yankees 19 times a year, that lineup is so power packed -- even the eight hole and nine hole sometimes. It's tough to pitch to. It's mentally wearing on you as the game goes on. For me to be over here in the National League, just to have the pitcher in the nine hole, gives me a little bit of breathing room. I don't think there's any lineup in the National League that can compare with that one. For me, it feels like it's easier to get over the hump.

I was in another world after hitting it out.

Luckily for us, we just got more balls in the air than they did.

It especially can't happen with the bases loaded. I just hesitated and threw it away.

I agreed to the contract with the strong advice not to sign it simply for the reason that I want to play in this town and I love being a Red Sox. I wouldn't have signed this deal in any other place.

I'm pretty much over it now. I'm kind of getting into the swing of things.
blinds cia conspiracy guys house looking might shut strange theories
Manny is a strange guy. Outward, he's happy-go-lucky. On the inside, he's got a lot of conspiracy theories going on. Obviously, Manny might be one of those guys when he's 50 years old he might be in his house with all the blinds shut and looking out and the CIA is after him. You don't know, man. You don't know what's going on his head.
guys knows playing pressure wonderful
He knows when to put pressure on guys and when not to. It's wonderful playing under him. He never kills us in the paper.

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.
accustomed matter opera soap
I've become accustomed to it. It's always a soap opera around here, no matter what. If there's not a soap opera going on, it's not Boston.

Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.

That's the only benefit in my mind right now. It still doesn't make it any less disappointing to leave.
