"I do hope I'm wrong, but this team has no legit ace, and now no closer, and a hapless collection of Survivor cast offs who will split time between giving up dongs and going on the DL for injuries only old stuntman should legitimately claim." -- Muldaddy

"Yeah, it did. It felt a little quick, but that’s not my job. My job is to get outs and I didn’t do that. I’m not going to think any more about that. I’m just going to continue to try to get outs and get after it." -- Mark Melancon on his memorable outing

"Jon Lester was impressive the entire time out there…. We were throwing strikes and they were throwing strikes. With a two run lead we weren’t going to give up. … It looked like we were rolling if we could have scored one more there… " -- Bobby V postmortem on NESN

"An issue is Melancon... I think they were a little stunned they didn't see a lot of swings and misses from Melancon in spring training." -- Peter Gammons on NESN after the Opening Day loss
