Kevin Youkilis Guys Quotations

For me, it's not as strange. Johnny's a good friend of mine. You know what's strange? When you look down the locker room and you realize all the guys you played with the past couple years are kind of gone. You got new players and personalities you have to get used to and deal with.

It's been a tough year for me. It just stinks for me, especially when we have left-handed guys pitching down here, I would have had a chance to play more probably. It stinks. There's nothing you can do about it. I'm just going to work my butt off to basically do whatever I can to help out and get back for that playoff push. I have a lot of confidence in my teammates. They'll get us there, and hopefully I can help out in the playoffs.

Boomer is one of the best pitchers to play in this game, ever. It's going to be good to have him back out there and competing and having him get guys off-balance --going out there and just doing what Boomer does well.
