I pushed them back out the door to finish the mission, ... They did it, but they were crying as they pushed on.

Fit and Finish

Everybody seems to think that I pushed him out the door. I didn't push him out the door. We mutually agreed that that was the best situation for both parties.... When we talked, it came down to him understanding what he needs to do to achieve his goal to be the type of player he can be and get the recognition he deserves.

It was a fantastic finish! 'Mo' was lights-out in the ninth, ... And now we've got these crying Red Sox fans, just as it should be. Now we've just got to turn up the intensity tomorrow and push the Red Sox into a playoff with the Indians.

I get out of bounds and when I'm getting up, somebody pushed me back down. I grabbed the ref to get his attention to say, 'Hey, did you see that?' You are not supposed to touch the ref. I understand that. I wasn't doing it to put him down or anything like that. I put my hand on his back. It was a gesture.

It's gotten to the point where the general population expects it.
