It seems like any time we face him, it must be his best night.

For a minute, … it gave me a flashback for what happened last year.

That’s how you win an MVP — getting into the playoffs and winning the World Series, … All I want to do is get into the playoffs one way or another.

What can you do? … Nothing but keep fighting.

I knew it was going to be like this at the end of the season. I had a good feeling.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

Ortiz said. ”We are the same age. We hang out together. Watching TV together and seeing what was going on in New Orleans, we knew we had to do something.

I want to challenge other baseball players to come out and do something for these people because they really need our help.

I found out that they are doing whatever is possible to trade him.

This is the guy that you guys can find a lot about Manny [from].

I’m just trying to work hard every day, trying to be a better player and one day, to be right there with them, one of those special hitters.

Baseball is a tough enough game. I try not to mix what is needed on the field with what is expected from those off the field. It isn’t a good thing.

We have a couple arrangements of piano pieces, a xylophone rag or two, an arrangement of an orchestral piece, an arrangement of a piece from an opera composer, and a quartet for mallet percussion and...

I hit it good. You had to hit it good with that wind blowing 100 mph.

Eleventh inning, man. You’ve got to bring your A game, … Those guys, you can’t be giving them a lot of chances.

It’s going be good, bro. I like being home.

One thing I know is that Gabe is a tough guy. He’s a guy that is not afraid of pain. So when I see everybody running on the field to get him up, I knew...

When you’re out there playing, you don’t think the game’s going to be on your back.

He’ll be fine. That’s Manny being Manny.

Like I said, I haven’t been seeing too many pitches to hit, so I was looking for something over the plate, and I got it.

The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox.

Oh, yeah, especially in Tampa. You know why.

That’s how you win an MVP – getting into the playoffs and winning the World Series, … All I want to do is get into the playoffs one way or another.

I come to play everyday.

You know what, the last time they were here, we went back to my house. We hung out together,

Tonight was a crazy night. It was cold out there and sometimes pitchers don?t find the grip on the ball when the weather is like that. You just have to fight, fight, fight until somebody...

[Saturday] night, we got whacked. Today, David just held them down. Don’t let that team fool you. They can hit. If you make a mistake against them, any one of those guys will hurt you.

I just want to challenge baseball people to come out and do something for these people. These people really need our help. All of us make enough money to donate something. Let’s put it together...

We have to pick each other up. Our pitching, they’ve been up and down. They pick us up a lot. We need to do the same thing. It’s not like they want to give it...

It’s quiet, man. Last year, Millar would have been busting on me right now.

What happened to me should teach everybody that you should never give up on anybody.

Don’t believe anyone until it’s (signed). I’ll let you know when I do.

When you walk to the plate like that and the crowd is screaming like that, … it makes you feel like Superman.

I showed people that it’s not about guessing what people can do. It’s about saying, ‘Here, show me what you can do.’

It’s the 11th inning, man. You got to bring your ‘A’ game, like I always say. Against those guys, you can’t take your chances. They’ve been coming back on us the whole season.

I ain’t going to beat everybody. If I’m a pitcher, I would take no chance with Manny [ Ramirez ]. Manny is a box full of surprises. He’s very excited right now. He’s very into...

We’re still on top. The problem is when you go under.

We have the future Roger Clemens in the house, … That kid, man, I’ll tell you, this guy is something else.

I’ve been here four years and that is the best team they’ve had.

You had to hit it good with the wind blowing like 100 miles an hour.

When I have in my mind that you have a good fastball, it doesn’t matter how nasty you are with some of the other pitches,

I can’t believe my boy [Arroyo] is gone. [But] I’ve never seen a guy hit a ball harder than that guy [Pena]. … No, not even [me]. He’s 24 years old, he’s just a baby....

To win ballgames, you need both, … The game situations will tell you what you need.

That’s him, man. That’s the Manny everybody knows.

The last time they were here, we went back to my house, … We hung out together. He was telling me, `I remember when we were coming up with Seattle.’ Alex, when he got to...

I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing wrong with being famous. I guess that some guys are a little bit afraid. If you don’t want to be famous, just step away. Other people are afraid to...

Johnny Pesky told me nobody hit the ball harder than Williams,

He was all right. He got away with some mistakes.

No doubt. August took forever.
