If I were a Boston fan, I would be giving him a standing ovation. But I'm not a Boston fan.

There's no comfort. We know what the Boston Red Sox are all about. We saw what they did last year and that's very clear in our minds.

It seems like it was inevitable. You knew we'd win today. You knew Boston would win today. Even when they were down, 4-1, you kind of had a feeling.

It seems like it's inevitable. We both have great teams and we have to go through Boston now. They're the world champs. And you have to go through New York. We know that and they know that.

It seems like it's inevitable, ... We both have great teams and we have to go through Boston now. They're the world champs. And you have to go through New York. We know that and they know that.

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.

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.
