Read Aaron Boon talking about Yankees-Red Sox following Wednesday’s Wild Card win below:

Q. You’ve seen the Red Sox this postseason. As a player. And you’ve seen it now as a manager during the regular season. What do you think about the guys in there, how they’re going to respond to that setting and what do you think about the matchup?

AARON BOONE: Our guys?

Q. Yes.

AARON BOONE: I think they can’t wait. I think they’re ready and relish the opportunity to go up against the games best this year. And obviously we’re very familiar with them. We know how good they are. I mean, we know we have to play our best if we’re going to have a chance to beat them. Obviously they’re very tough at Fenway. But I think you say the same for them probably. But I know our guys can’t wait to get there and try and get it done. Q. Obviously spent a lot of time focusing on the A’s for this game. Now that you’re passed them. Does part of you feel it was destined to help that you would play the Red Sox based on the way you’ve paralleled each other?

AARON BOONE: I don’t really go there and get caught up in we’re destined. I mean, we know who the next opponent was and we know this is a one-game thing. And so you’re confident you can get it done but at the end of the day it’s still a win-or-go-home, one game, anything can happen. So you just prepare as best you can and pour everything into this one and now we’ll obviously so focus on the Red Sox.
