October 14, 2007
On his game-winning hit
It was a situation where, obviously, Lopez is not a very comfortable at-bat against left-handers. But I was excited to finally get in there, 1:30 in the morning. For some reason, I felt a calmness out there. If you can keep your emotions in check in a situation like that, you probably have a better chance.
On whether Sox fans will now see him differently
I'm the enemy coming in here. I had some great years here in Boston. I was very grateful to have the opportunity to play here, but I'm also very grateful to have the opportunity to play in Cleveland.
On whether or not the victory swings the series in Cleveland's favor
It's the postseason. One game is a big win for us, gives us the momentum. We get a day off tomorrow, and we come back at it on Monday.
