[Boston's offense] does wear on us, ... especially when you get two runs yourself and they get three or four more.
July was a special month -- those don't come along all the time. You can't expect 40 hits a month the whole season, as much as you'd like to see it happen.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to be playing for Jim Leyland. Just his track record alone makes him demand respect from the start. He's a proven leader, and he's won everywhere he went.

You have to pace yourself. If you have a day off, take it as a whole day off. Just relax. That'll help in the long run.
