I feel like I got a good jump on the ball. I turned my head and picked a spot out to run to. I was able to look back at the ball real quick again and it fell right into my glove.

That's what perseverance is. You go through some tough times and you fight through it. And now, it's over. It's over.

When you got a guy hanging over the cliff holding on with one hand, you don't want him to get his other hand up there, you want to go ahead and stomp on it

I can't wait to see his haircut. You don't know what you're going to get. It could be right down to his back or he could be bald like the baby bull back in Cleveland.

If I make the trip, it'll just be the same. I'll go up and give him a hug if he's there and say 'hello' to him and see how he's doing, but then just get what I need done on the field.

He thrives in atmospheres like this. He doesn't want to leave because he didn't like it in Boston. He loved it in Boston.

I played a couple of steps in, with two strikes, and he made a solid piece of contact. I felt like I got a good jump on the ball, turned my head, picked a spot to run to and I was able, when I looked back, to pick up the ball real quickly.

In this game of baseball, you never know what's going to happen. You just take it in full stride and go out there and don 't change the way you play.

I'm a big Brett Favre fan. When you look at what he's done and what he's played through ... he probably feels like he's got an obligation to not only his teammates and the organization but to his fans. That's the way I feel.

I?m not going to sit here and think about, ?Well, they brought him in this year, it looks like I?m going to be gone next year.? That?s ridiculous. That?s just thinking negatively.
