"I'm not even sure who our No. 1 [starter] is. I thought he [Matt Clement] was capable of going out there and just making guys look silly. But he just didn't have it. He hasn't had it for the last month." –- 10.4, Johnny Damon on the widest margin of defeat in the Red Sox’ 122-game postseason history

"It's not news that our pitching needs to hold the opposing team down. We don't get that, we're going to be in trouble. Playoffs, when you give up 14 runs, what's happening?" -- 10.4, David Ortiz on the loss

“It’s 1918 vs. 1917, take your pick.” -– 10.4, ESPN’s Chris Berman at the start of yesterday’s White Sox-Red Sox game, apparently forgetting that the Red Sox are the 2004 World Series champions
