Eric Wilbur: Pesky Pole Position | Did Sox Do the Right Thing?
"It was just a (horse bleep) performance. It was just pitch execution. I let some things get to me. They put the good part of the bat on the ball. They were hitting balls at guys early in the game, and they stopped hitting them at guys." -- 9.27.06, Josh Beckett dusting off the tired execution excuse for the last time this year

Manny Being Ornery
(And Making His Manager Look Silly Again)
“Francona talked with Manny Ramirez yesterday when the left fielder was working out, and after the discussion, the manager thought he'd have the slugger in last night's starting lineup.
"But an hour later, Ramirez, who has appeared in only one game since Sept. 9 (as a pinch-hitter last Saturday), called Francona and told him that he wasn't able to play, so he was scratched from the lineup. Francona said Ramirez mentioned he was hoping to play Friday in the opener of the season-ending three-game set with Baltimore, but at this point, Francona seemed to indicate there wasn't much point of him doing so.
"Ramirez typically was not in a talkative mood, but he sent some words in the direction of a few media members who were in the clubhouse about an hour before the first pitch.
" 'You guys got the story. Get out,' he snapped." -- 9.27.06, Steven Krasner, Providence Journal
