en [BOSTON ? Tie game, runner in scoring position and David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez due up in the 10th inning.] It's about as bad as it gets, ... Those are the last two guys in the world you want to face with a guy on third base with less than two outs.

en I have Ortiz, and then Manny [Ramirez] behind him. I don't want to walk [Ortiz], so I tried to be aggressive down. I was, and he got it. He's a great hitter. He gets paid a lot of money. He got me.

en It's going to be key for Coco and I to get on base. The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity.

en You watch Ortiz over the last few years, there's not a more clutch player out there. And you can't walk him because Ramirez hits behind him.

en If he's healthy, to me, especially against right-handed pitching, he's the perfect No. 5 hitter in our batting order, because you can't throw it past him. You got David [Ortiz] and Manny [Ramirez] in front of him. He's a big guy in the batting order and he knows it.

en I think they are just coming right after him. This is what good pitchers do with people like David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez, and Vladimir Guerrero.

en Ramirez gave us a big shot in the arm. The one thing about Ramirez is that he just keeps on bringing it.

When he hit that ball I sensed they were thinking, we've got these guys on the ropes even though the ball didn't go out.
