“There's no comparison to me. There's nothing like Yankees-Red Sox to me.”
Willie Randolph
“Not only is he a lefty, not only is he a Red Sox killer, but when it comes down to it, has there ever been a point when you've wanted Schilling over Johnson?”
Will Carroll
“To be honest, I haven't always been a Red Sox fan, ... The first game I went to was when I was a player [with Yankees]. My dad hated to drive in Boston, so we never came down to see any games. And back then, there was usually only one game a week on TV, and it was usually the Cardinals. I can't tell you I'm a Red Sox fan through and through, but certainly I'm a guy who has admired what's gone on with the Red Sox.”
Jim Beattie
“You have to get good pitching to beat the Red Sox, period. When they have pitching like they do, you can't expect to come in here and just try to go toe-to-toe with them and beat them 9-8 all the time. You're just not going to do it. So we got a good pitching performance and won tonight.”
Joe Maddon
“Since I was little, I knew that I have wanted to be part of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry,”
Craig Hansen
