Jason Giambi Coming Quotations

I think it's going to be a little bit easier for Johnny. He's coming over from Boston. I think he has already been through it. He's not going to have the deer in the headlights (look), where I came over from Oakland and the media outweighs the players.

We know it's still early, but you don't want to fall as far behind and get in that rut where you have to battle back. You don't want to find yourself coming to the ballpark, giving away a win and then the next day, you get beat. Before you know it, it turns into something bad.

We all knew it was only a matter of time before the offense started to come around. I think guys finally started to relax a little bit. Now we're coming up with that big hit, driving in that big run.

You don't want to find yourself coming to the ballpark, giving away a win and then the next day, you get beat.

There were a lot of downs. We just kept coming back. I don't want to think we're done though, because I don't want to let down. We've got to keep pushing.
