I could hear Larry out there, and he was saying, 'Oh, God!' and he didn't want to call it. You really couldn't blame him.
I think when he came down I was still sliding and I caught his shin guard a little bit. It's not that big of a deal.
I think Brad, to me, is the best closer in the game. His stuff is way above average, and he's got a good idea what he's doing. He's still kind of new to the league, and guys really haven't gotten a feel for him. But I think even if you have a feel for him, you still don't have much of a chance.

It couldn't be that great; nobody wants to see this. It's all about the Red Sox and Yankees. Why don't they just show a replay of that?
I think, I've been trying to dictate where I want the ball to go.
I think this was a great game for both teams, I really do.
I think it might be why I struggled in the World Series,
You can circle a couple guys' names who carried us all year long, and those five guys are probably at the top of the list.
