This jersey that we're wearing today doesn't say Red Sox. It says Boston.

If I can't hit at a high level, I won't play, and I know there comes a point where my body won't be able to do that.

You don't get better as you get older in your career. It's not natural to have your best years late in your career. So I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep my body feeling good for as long as I can.

I'm an easy person to get along with. Even when I struggle, I have the same attitude.

I know in my situation, my mind works more than everything else. I've been like that my whole career.

I just want to play baseball.

It doesn't matter if we are down 3-0. We just have got to keep the faith like that one piece you were saying in "Keep on Going," because the game is not over till the last out.
