Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Wells spits as he walks off the mound after getting pulled in the fifth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays during their baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston, Wednesday April 12, 2006. Wells gave up seven runs on ten hits in his outing. On the mound are manager Terry Francona and catcher Jason Varitek.

"You name it, I just didn’t have it. Everything I threw up there they put a good swing at it… We all have bad nights and I started off with a bad night… The thing to do is just try to keep the team in the ballgame, it worked for two innings then the wheels came off.... I thought they were saying ‘Boomer’ (when fans booed him)… I thought that’s what they were saying, I really did. They were quick to do it, that’s fine." -- 4.12, David Wells after his first loss
