Jonathan Papelbon:
“We’re starting to feel the flow and it doesn’t matter who we go up against. We’ve got a lot of momentum in our dugout right now, and hopefully we can keep it.”
Papelbon on Schilling:
“He’s the one guy we want out there to pitch for us. He’s obviously a big-game pitcher. The big-daddy Curt came through; there’s no doubt about it.”
Manny Ramirez on back-to-back homers with David Ortiz:
“Me and David, we are the best one-two punch ever.”
Ramirez on actually celebrating with his teammates this time around:
“It’s great, man. That’s what this whole season is about. We’re moving on to the next step and we’ll see what happens.”
Terry Francona on winning:
Francona on winning:
“You do enjoy it; you’re supposed to. This means a lot and we don’t want to be done. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of what we’ve accomplished, and what we hope to accomplish. It’s fun to watch these guys feel this good about themselves.”
Francona on Schilling pitching well in big games:
“That’s why he’s here. That’s why Theo went and tried to get him four years ago. Even back when he was bleeding all over his sock, I never, for one minute, didn’t think he would find a way to win a game. That’s probably not fair, but that’s the way we feel. There’s a reason he’s been pitching so long and so well and has done what he’s done. It’s not always perfect, but you have to find a way to will yourself to be good and he can certainly do that.”
Manny Delcarmen on being a part of the Red Sox:
Delcarmen on being a part of this team:
“I didn’t expect to come up at the beginning of the year, but this is exciting. I’ve been throwing the ball well. I have to give it to Tito because he had the confidence to stick with me. I’m just really excited right now to be a part of this team.”
Coco Crisp on Ortiz, who called his shot.
“He told me he was going to hit a home run. Now he’s tricked me into thinking he’s the Bambino."
