Projo SoxTalk: Looking back on the sweep

Joe McDonald is today's guest on projo SoxTalk with Art Martone.

Here are a few things McDonald has to say:

On the Red Sox reactions last night: "Prior to the series, [it was] 'OK, this is just one game, they're just another team, and then Toronto comes into town.' But last night, every player that we talked to, you could tell they were fired up, because hey, 'We just swept the Yankees; we put a little distance between us and them.' You could tell, it was just different than if they had swept the Kansas City Royals."

On next weekend's rematch in the Bronx: "I think it's going to be a lot different next weekend, just because it's in New York, and they're getting back Hideki Matsui, which is going to be huge. Damon has been banged up, so that maybe will give him some time to rest, having Matsui back in the mix. Certainly Jorge Posada being out, especially last night against Matsuzaka, that would have been a little different I think if Posada was in the lineup, but he's out with that bruised thumb. So I think next weekend is going to be a little bit different."

On tonight's game against Tomo Ohka Toronto: "The biggest thing is in order to keep this thing rolling, they have to keep the bats rolling. So i think you could possibly see another offensive barrage."
