It's hard to win doubleheaders. The idea is to make this into our advantage somehow. Because of the importance of these games, we're going to probably have a lot of guys play 18 innings. Maybe it'll be 20, maybe 22. Who knows Whatever we're asked to do, we'll try to make it to our advantage.
More Quotes from Terry Francona:
He's played through a lot. But he's been very productive and scored runs. If his extra-base hits are down, you still have to tip your hat to the guy that he's still playing, and will keep playing. I think he's hit some balls hard right at people. Then he'll get hot, and get a bunch of extra-base hits.Terry Francona
I don't doubt he'll miss a few games, ... but that's a heck of a lot better than the rest of the year.
Terry Francona
I'll watch him throw, and if we think he's doing great, then we'll put him back in there. We're just trying to factor in us winning and getting him back to throwing with confidence.

We're going to try to make up some things to test his knee a little bit. He went from wanting to be traded to he's going to start the day to he's ready to start. That's probably not going to happen. We planned some things out. His health is very important. We'll do it how we think is correct.
Terry Francona
What bothered me is that I just got a memo from the (American) League stating that when (umpires) meet it has to be conclusive. When an umpire in the middle of the field overrules it, that word conclusive (comes to mind). That's a difficult call for me to swallow right there. That was kind of my point.
Terry Francona
I think he's been looking at his hands pre-pitch and where they are. He did the same thing last year. Out of the gate, you just lose your comfort zone for whatever reason. He'll get it. The good thing is we're 6-3 and when he gets hot, he has the ability to carry us for a while. It's not like he's some young kid and you hope he hits. It's just when is it going to be and how condensed is it going to be.

We photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory.

Actually I like the idea of being a Renaissance hack. If tombstones were still in style, I would want to have the two words chiseled right under my name.
