Kevin Millar Quotations

We've talked about all going somewhere as a package deal, as the Three Amigos, because we know we can help someone win. But you know, they might want those two and not me and I'd be out there on my own.

No doubt about it, it's never as easy as people think. I don't think losing three, four, five position players is easy to replace. Having to replace the general manager, it's tough. But can they do it? Of course they can. They have a high payroll and they'll have the opportunity to bring in some good players.

Right now is too late to do that in the season. I'm not going anywhere. I'm somehow part of this club right now.

I think (the fans) can relate with me because I was just a normal old guy. Just being normal. Wasn't the most talented guy, but they can always remember, 'At least he gave us 100 percent of what he had, which wasn't a lot.' Team guy, fun guy and nothing more than that.

Spotting and painting. Radke was Radke. Period. He's got great arm action on his changeup. He's a great pitcher ... seemed like he could do whatever he wanted with the baseball.

Manny took one for the team. That's why he's the No. 1 RBI man in the world for the last nine years.

You are a rock star when you play in that city, regardless. We deal with that daily. Boston is ... unique. Boston is a small city, it's Sox Nation. People live, die, eat and breathe baseball. I think now our job as a group is to come in here and make everybody, you know, be a rock star.

You are a rock star when you play in that city.

We've got to find a way to put one of those runs across. It was just one of those nights. Very frustrating.

Until I play for the Yankees, I don't think they're ever going to love me.

Everybody was worried that guys were not swinging the bat. Spring training is about staying healthy and getting guys work. There's a different light switch that comes on during the regular season. This group showed it can play.

There's no right answer. They're all great players.

The one thing I can always relate with the Red Sox fans is that I gave everything I had every night. They appreciate the blue-collar-type guy that's not as talented as everybody but gives his all. It was a nice welcome.

You're not looking at a team that needs 10 pieces. I think it's just a matter of things going the right way and pitchers staying healthy. And just going for it. That's the bottom line. You get a good group of guys believing in each other, you've got a shot.

This division is where you want to be as a baseball player. There's nothing like it. It's like 162 playoff games.

A lot of guys do stuff off the field. As a baseball player, and that's what it's about, I would love to see him in the Hall of Fame before he dies. Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Everybody wanted to play like Pete Rose.

You don't want to make a living down four or five runs. But to know that you have the confidence to come back is nice.

It's an exciting time. I'm excited personally to turn the page from last year and come out and prove the doubts wrong.

I love it here. Baltimore is a great baseball town and Camden Yards is a great stadium. I've always liked Camden Yards, and it's even better being on the home side. We've got a football field for a clubhouse, an awesome jacuzzi and our own parking lot. How can you complain?

I like people. I like my teammates. I can't stand cliques. I'm not a very good player, but I will bring a presence (where) there's not many cliques. If there's an intangible, I bring that intangible.

I'll tell you what, it's a huge loss for the Red Sox. Personally I think Theo was very, very smart and intelligent about understanding baseball players, understanding what kind of team to bring in and what group of guys could gel together. I think he's proven that for three years that he was there. We won a championship, we won 95 games three straight seasons. He's been tremendous for myself personally. I wish him the best of luck, I'm sure he'll have a lot of takers out there.

I pulled the ball a lot more than I wanted to the last couple years. The big thing is that I've squared back up, and I'm allowing my hands to work.

I don't think Torii Hunter would have had that ball.

Edgar found a way to get the ball where nobody was standing,

The fans were phenomenal. It sounded like Sox Nation out there.

The good thing is we got this over in spring training. We played them three or four times and got all the hugs out of the way. Now it's time to go out there and beat them.

I didn't have a grip on that ball. I shouldn't have thrown it.

The good thing is we got the Yankees three times at the end of the season.

Sometimes, Manny is taking a nap, and you woke up the baby. There's not a better retaliation, something like that. Manny's one of the best at that.

Don't let us win tonight. This is a big game. They've got to win because if we win we've got Pedro coming back today and then Schilling will pitch Game 6 and then you can take that fraud stuff and put it to bed. Don't let the Sox win this game.

The kid has electric stuff. Let's see how he does here in the Nation.

The guy is too good of an athlete to play there. He should be playing left field. He'll have no problems at first base. If I can play there, anybody can.

The easy thing to do would have been to give up. But we don't do anything easy in this clubhouse.

The fun begins (tonight). It's going to be a hell of a series.
