Jonny Gomes Quotations

Yes, he's kicked back. He has a lot of positive thoughts, positive things to say.

We've still got some big guys down in St. Pete that we can't wait to get back, so we're not clicking on all cylinders by any means. It's not even close and even then, we're hanging with some big teams. So we'll see how it works out.

Like I always tell people, I'm a baseball player, it's what I do,

Oh yeah. Definitely wouldn't have hurt, that's for sure.

I don't think anyone was worried about the past. I think that's why this team is becoming good. It's a clean slate every time you leave the ballpark.

I don't think you can really look ahead right now in this organization, ... I don't want to look ahead, because I don't know what's going to happen. Because it's just obvious something is going to happen. I'm just looking forward to helping the team win this season and go out with a bang and have some good numbers on my resume when the season's over.

He says that I would have passed in my sleep. I'm not sleeping anymore the rest of my life.

We're on a tear right now. We're really starting to gel as a club. We've (won) consistently enough since the All-Star break to show it's not a fluke.

He was the best baseball player in our county, ... He was the guy, a star baseball and basketball player and the quarterback on the football team.

I think we've got a little swagger coming in here. We just showed them we can do it and it's not impossible with our team. We came in and we'll lay it all on the line and see how it pans out.

That was an incredible outing by Doug Waechter.

That's baseball. The two 'L's, leather and lumber, you've got to do them both, and today all nine of us did, ... You can win a ballgame so many different ways.

I was more surprised Bernie went on that one than Jason on the other one,

We're not going to lay down until the last out of the game. That's why this team is going to be successful.

We were fish-tailing in the dead grass, ... A telephone pole hit right on his door. He was in the back right. I was on back left.

Bill's my man. It's awesome having him here.

The role we fell into is spoilers. We want to be on other side of that. It's not like we're playing for nothing. A win or loss on our record can affect other teams and races.

This club definitely needed something to get going. I'm not taking credit for it at all, but we've found something.

It was awesome, ... He was such a big part of the Athletics. They were so confident. They love him in the area.

It's one of those fluke things, and the doctor told me I fought off a heart attack for 27 hours, ... Considering everything, it's an honor to be here.

It's the first time I saw him. He's working on stuff. We're all working on stuff. He's looking fine.

It's always good to get the bully back one day, the bully that takes your lunch money every day. I think it shows how good we are.

It means a lot. He's my guy. He's the best manager I've ever had, hands down. We've got it down to just eye contact. Eye contact means 100 words. With all my shenanigans on the field and my strikeouts, he's one guy who's able to keep me in check.

It just shows the Yankees -- with their history and with their payroll and with their All-Stars -- they're not bulletproof. In between the lines, there's no salaries and no world champions. It's nine-on-nine, plus your bullpen and bench. It just shows anyone can win.

It just shows, the Yankees, their payroll and all their All-Stars, they're not bullet proof. Between the lines, nine on nine, it shows that with your bullpen and your bench, you can win.

It just shows that the Yankees, with their history and with their payroll and with their all-stars, they're not bullet-proof. In between the lines, there's no salaries and no world champions. It's nine on nine, plus your bullpen and your bench and it just shows anyone can win.

It just shows that the crowd and the fans appreciate the way I play, ... To go out and play as hard as I do and just get the cold shoulder from people is tough. So to hear from them, just to know they appreciate my love for the game and how I go about playing, that means a lot.

I've had that situation a million times in the streets and in the back yard. There are only a few at-bats you'll never forget in your lifetime. I'll never forget that.

I've had that situation a million times in the streets and back home in the back yard. There are so many at-bats in a year, but there are just a few at-bats you'll never forget for the rest of your life. Your first grand slam, you have in the bottom of the eighth and win the game. You never forget something like that.

It's what I'm supposed to do, right? ... You hit in the middle of the lineup, you're supposed to hit home runs. That's what they're paying me to do. That's what I'm supposed to do.

In between the lines, there's no salaries ... it's nine-on-nine plus your bullpen and your bench, and it just shows anyone can win. It's a bulldog attitude.

I'm just going to eat this up. This is why I work out when I work out. This is why I hit when I hit. This is why I eat what I eat. It's all for this day.

I'll be satisfied with what I've got after the season is over. I don't really have numbers as far as goals. If I can play every day and stay healthy, the numbers will come. But my two main goals are playing every day and staying healthy.

In a game like this everybody gets involved. We knew we were going to score. It was just a matter of when and off who.

I had good grades in school, ... I was an outdoorsman. I like the adventure and representing your country. I don't want to go to war, but I wouldn't have been scared.

I don't think I'm a better outfielder now than I was two months ago,

I don't really like the word 'cocky' and it's been used a lot with myself, ... But I'm not cocky. I'm confident. I feel like with a big name on the mound, as soon as I step into the batter's box, you're like, 'Oh great, I've got to face this guy,' or, 'Oh no, this guy throws hard.' If you think that, you're already out. Those guys on the mound are just as cocky or arrogant as anyone else. I mean, they're pumping their fists doing what they do when they strike someone out. But I think it's just magnetized by me because I'm just a rookie.

I don't know how we've done it, ... But I hope they don't figure it out.

He's a player's manager. Certain kind of eye contact from Bill can mean a thousand different words from him.

The doctor didn't say I might have died, he said I would have died,

It was a good opportunity to show the Reds the guidelines on the catwalk.

I'll be satisfied with what I've got at the end of the season, ... If I can play every day, the numbers will come.

If you have a weakness, everyone sees it all over the country and the other team is going to exploit it.

It's always good to get the bully back one day.

I know this year hasn't gone as we'd all like it. But please, please, everyone do not forget about that 2013 season - the worst to first, the tragedy of the Boston Marathon, everyone rallying around the city, the finish line, the duck boats, everything, celebrating at home. Might be down a little bit in the win/loss column right now, but do not let that erase any of those memories from last year that I get to wear a ring on my finger for. I'm proud to be a Red Sox for those times.
