"It's amazing how one pitch can change direction of the game. It was a poorly executed pitch. ... I was trying to throw it down, it was up. It was a bad pitch. He's a strong son of a bitch... 98 percent of the guys in the big leagues fly out to left field on that."
-- 9.16.08, Josh Beckett on his one bad pitch to Carlos Pena

"The problem tonight was not officiating. NO NO NO!!! The problem tonight was the problem all season. The inability to play shut down baseball over the whole series. After blasting Scott Kazmir, the Sox went dead against Andy Sonnanstine... Gimme a break. Champions beat great and bad pitching anytime, anywhere. Work has to be done!"
