If I go out there and give up 100 runs I'll just go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.

If he's putting signs down, I know he's thinking in a certain pattern from what I've done in the past with him, and so it's not a guessing game.

I was going to be really picky and not let him beat me with a long ball.

I was surprised by the atmosphere in the stadium in Chicago. The fans were loud. Yankee Stadium can be loud. Those people gave them a run for their money.

I wouldn't expect him to be back before the All-Star break. The infection he's got is pretty tough to get rid of and because he already had one replacement there's no blood flow in that area so it's hard to knock it out. So it's going to be basically take the hip out, knock out the infection, put a new one back in. That's a lot of trauma on the body.

I wouldn't have signed this deal in any other place. I love playing here and I want to stay here for my whole career.

I've become accustomed to it. It's always a soap opera around here, no matter what. If there's not a soap opera going on, it's not Boston.

It's nice to have that familiarity, knowing how you should be looking and how you should be throwing the ball. I personally enjoy a pitching coach who's very laid back, very hands off for the most part, unless you have a problem.

They're the No. 1 team in the division. It was nice to shut them down. Any time you go up against those guys, you want to show that you can play with them.

I immediately looked at Dale Sveum and forgot that he was my third base coach. He might have tipped him off or he might have just been aggressive. I don't know, but I thought it was funny nobody swung at that pitch all year.
