"Some of the best games I've ever, ever pitched in the major leagues I stayed up all night; I'd say two-thirds of them. If I had went to bed, I would have won 150 ballgames in the time span that I played. I feel like my career was cut short for a lot of reasons, but I wasn't doing anything that hundreds of ballplayers weren't doing at the time; because that's how I learned it." -- Dennis Boyd to the Globe's Nick Cafardo

Youk in January: "[The Red Sox] didn�t have the best vibe in the clubhouse... It was very different. It was noticeable early, but when you win, winning heals all the wounds. But we definitely didn�t have the right attitude in a lot of ways. We were worrying about things that we shouldn�t have been worrying about and not playing the game of baseball." -- Kevin Youkilis after everyone else fessed up
