I want to congratulate the Yankees ... They played an incredible series. They outplayed us and they deserved to win. At times we played good baseball. At times we shot ourselves in the foot. The Yankees are a team that you can’t give extra outs to.

View Photo »I can just think of Barry Bonds
It wouldn't matter who you're playing in a Division Series or a Championship Series or a World Series — you're going to face tough pitching every night ... That's why teams get this far.
I can just think of Barry Bonds, that's the only time I think I remember doing anything like that
We figured we weren’t going to see Mariano Rivera much longer ... There was a lot of baseball left.
In Game 1, Vlad hit a ball hard to left-center [for a double, scoring the Angels' only run against CC Sabathia] ... Vlad's had a couple of good swings and just missed. As far as production is concerned, I don't know if our guys are what you'd call comfortable in the batter's box. For some of the guys, i...
I'm confident we'll hit ... A lot of infielders had problems on the defensive side, Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter. There were plays that were routine (that weren't made). I'm sure weather influenced some things that happened.
Well, we won the World Series – so it must have ... I know we walked (Barry) Bonds a lot.
We're not in pitch selection once they get in the game. We're making adjustments between innings as far as what Butch [Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher] or I will do
The way Jered pitched in Game 2 of the Division Series is a lot of things we talked about with CC Sabathia [Friday] night ... His ability to control both sides of the plate, get into the zone with his fastball, change speeds, and really had a power breaking ball that he was using it on off-counts at tim...
He's not tight ... You're facing tougher pitching, and at times he's trying to find a feel. He's been caught in between. He's passive in some counts, and sometimes he's expanding the zone and giving counts back to the pitchers. I know he had a rough go of it in the division series, and he didn't have a ...
I don’t know if you’re ever going to be able to measure yourself against an organization like the Yankees. It might take a century before you would get there ... But I think our guys feel good at the way they go about their business, the way that they play the game hard, the way that they push the game ...
It's definitely a park that's tilted to the offensive side ... I don't know if it's any more extreme than having a fence 290 feet away (referring to the Green Monster at Boston's Fenway Park).
We felt if we played good baseball that everyone could see the talent on this team, because we haven’t shown it in the playoffs ... I feel good for our guys because this series was important to them, not only to beat Boston, but beat a club of their caliber. I think the way we did it in the sweep certai...
Part of it is Boston; they're a deep club. We didn't match up well with them a couple of years ... The way we did it in the sweep, certainly in Game 3 on the road with two outs in the ninth, has to give us a lot of momentum.
We did that last year, waited an hour-and-a-half for our bags. We finished the workout about midnight ... So we're going to workout here tomorrow before our flight, and then we'll get into Boston and get a good night's sleep and get ready to play.
He'll have an ugly at-bat and put that mask on and all of a sudden he's an All-Star catcher back there again ... I think there's an important lesson for a lot of young catchers and something we certainly try to pound into our youngsters about the influence that you're going to have on the game. Even whe...
It's incredible when we look at Varitek and you look at not only what he's achieved during the season, but the big games he's played in the postseason ... He's been there day in and day out for such a long time and had a major impact on what they've accomplished in Boston. This guy is certainly a leader...
Torii's hit was important for a number of reasons ... And you couldn't pitch much better than John pitched tonight. To get 22 outs against a club that makes you work for every out, for a starter, that's big. I think what feels good is just us playing a good ballgame in a playoff game. We did it in Game ...
It's certainly something we've put some focus on leading up to the series when we're doing our scouting, because we know Boston is running more than they ever have in recent years
He's controlling some of the things that maybe became distractions to him when he was younger ... I'm going back two or three years now, not in the early season. He has been as consistent as any pitcher that's taken the mound this year in the American League. It's been very, very important to us.
I'm not even thinking about (then), I'm thinking about what we are now ... We have a good club that is doing a lot of things well and we have to go out and do it on the field. We're not carrying anything forward from the past. I thought last year we played a good series against Boston than we had before...
I think we feel really good about Kevin Jepsen, Jason Bulger and Darren Oliver getting us to a point when Brian Fuentes can close it out on the back end ... If our starters are able to get to a point of a game, we'll be fine.
Since winning the World Series, we've played a couple really good series and some that were very, very poor ... I don't think it's a matter of where you're playing and who you're playing but how you're playing the game. The fact that we haven't played well at home — you know, we haven't played that well...
I would like to have seen what Torii would have done if he didn't miss the five weeks of playing time ... I'm really sold that he would have been a leading (American League) MVP candidate for what he did to both from the defensive side and the numbers he would have put up on offense.
