I never would have thought it. But this is a pretty potent lineup. You can't get down too much.

I'll do whatever they need me to do. I can play a lot of positions, I can pinch run, pinch hit - whatever they need from me.

Im looking forward to it, ... Ive still got a lot of friends on that team. But its going to be a different feeling.

In Boston, most of the people believe in (the curse) just because of all of the stuff that has happened. It's kind of the same way in Chicago - they expect something to go wrong because that's what's happened over the years.

It was kind of weird to look in the mirror the first time I tried my hat on.

It's tough to stay sharp getting one at-bat as a pinch-hitter. It's a totally different approach when you start.

That's kind of a risky move. I guess they're trying to make a point. Sometimes maybe that does fire a team up to get things going.

Sometimes, that's going to happen. It was ugly. But after you play for awhile, you see a lot of ugly innings.

It was unfortunate what happened to me this year in Boston, ... I've just got to turn the page and start a new chapter. There's no hard feelings, but this is my team now.
