"We're going out there busting our tails," he said before Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. "The fans' impact at Camden Yards is unbelievable. I think they know that. I think they understand that. The players understand that. Obviously, this week and this last homestand, this last 11 games, are arguably the most important games of the season. We've fought our tails off for 150 games to put ourselves into a unique situation in September. That's what you say, you want to play important September baseball, and part of September baseball, especially if you're in the East, is the fans."
