David Ortiz on lack of offense of late:
“It’s not good, man. We haven’t been hitting for [crap], so hopefully it’ll get better.”
Ortiz on hitting balls at people:
“It happens, but we’ll get them next time.”
On the importance of Ramirez to hit home runs:
“It’s not like he doesn’t want to and he’s not trying. “They’ve been pitching us tough, they don't care about walking us. Hopefully he can come out and do want he normally does if he can get some pitches and take over."
When will the slump end?
"When they decide to throw something over the plate it will," said Ortiz.
Ortiz on the Giants:
"You know they are going to boo the [crap] out of Barry."
Varitek on Beckett:
“We made some mistakes at the wrong times. The big one was the (grand slam) by Atkins, and if we stay away from that we’re in that ballgame.”
Varitek on Beckett’s command:
“He’s been better. We got behind on some breaking balls and weren’t able to make pitches at different times. Really, it just comes down to that one pitch to Atkins. Outside of that he kept us in the game.”
Varitek on the San Francisco Giants:
“It’ll be exciting for baseball. It will be the first (regular-season) time the Giants have ever been here, but outside of that they are a team we’re tying to beat and a series we’re trying to win.

I am disappointed with the Rockies. How can they not play Chris Iannetta once or at all in this series. Only three MLB players from rhode Island and he doesn't get a chance to play in front of his home crowd, Disgusting!!!
