You don't want to pick your opponents because you never know what's going to happen. The Red Sox certainly are a club that you don't take lightly. We never have and we certainly understand the danger of playing this club.

No matter what losses happen in a given season, the Red Sox always have next year.

You have to get good pitching to beat the Red Sox, period. When they have pitching like they do, you can't expect to come in here and just try to go toe-to-toe with them and beat them 9-8 all the time. You're just not going to do it. So we got a good pitching performance and won tonight.

There's so much passion and so much interest in the Red Sox in Boston.

If you're going to pick somebody, I don't think you could have picked a better person to follow Bernie Williams than Johnny Damon.

The last reunion of the Red Sox was in 1978.
