Oh, the rivalry?

I think I'm looking forward to that too.

Whenever I played the Yankees with the Cubs or St.

Louis, my mindset was different.

I was like...

you know, it's like we have to win.

We have to win.

We have to win.

And now that we have to win, we have to play really good baseball.

I know the Yankees are a really good team and they have good players, but I'm not...

I'm not coming to Boston just to like the Yankees because that's not going to happen.

They're probably going to say hate me whenever we play against each other.

But I'm going to play with fire.

I'm going to play with emotions and show them that we can win.

I think it's going to help a lot.

I really like the fan base of Chicago.

I really like the fan base of St.

Louis Cardinals, but I think the fan base of Boston, when they show up day in, day out, day game or night game, it's really amazing.

I think we have to feed off that.

We have to feel the crowd, feel the energy, and try to take advantage of that and put it in play.
