And more postgame reaction

From J.D. Drew . . .

-- [On his home run] ''Yeah, I think the ball was traveling pretty well today. There were some balls hit later in the game that didn't look like they were hit that well but went a long ways. For the swing I had on that changeup, it was a good pitch up in the zone, stayed flat through it, and really got some good backspin, carried out, you know, I'll take it.''

-- [On his first Fenway opener] ''It was great. It was a great time. All the pregame festivities. There's just always something that you know you always want. Your home fans are what you want to pay homage to . . . It couldn't have worked out any better. You know, you get a chance to score a lot of runs and get a chance to, you know, hit a big home run in your first game here. It was special . . . I was definitely excited [to] get a feel for, you know, the corner there in right field and just the overall enviornment that is Boston baseball.''

-- [On Matsuzaka pitching tomorrow] ''Yeah, that will be a great matchup. I know Dice-K came out and threw a great game the last time he pitched and the other guy [Seattle's starter tomorrow, Felix Hernandez] did, as well, so we got our work cut out for us as hitters. They definitely have a good offensive club and Dice-K, I think he showed what he, all those pitches the last time he pitched, so I bet it will be fun to watch.''
