red talk time
Every time you don a Red Sox uniform, you have to talk about the history. Everyone thought it was a curse. Now that's just a five-letter word.

I?m not going to sit here and think about, ?Well, they brought him in this year, it looks like I?m going to be gone next year.? That?s ridiculous. That?s just thinking negatively.

I'm a big Brett Favre fan. When you look at what he's done and what he's played through ... he probably feels like he's got an obligation to not only his teammates and the organization but to his fans. That's the way I feel.

coming fans feed field huge job late middle road whether winning
We feed off our fans all the time, whether it's coming in late from a road trip, or in the middle of a long homestand. We always feed off our fans. I think they know that. They're a very important part of the way we play. Obviously, we have to go out on the field and get the job done, but they're always a huge part of us winning ballgames.
