Jason Varitek Game Quotations

Those games are great. They are great for the organization and the publicity of your team. The only downfall is that sometimes you are playing in Texas and you turn around the next day and you are playing in Boston. We've had the bottom half of some of those results.

We haven?t quite got going offensively as a unit yet, that?s obvious. It?s nice to win games that way when you?re not rolling offensively.

This was big, because we gave away the first game (7-6 in 12 innings) and we got pounded (8-1) in the second one.

Like I always say, we handle things in here. In no way, shape or form are we going to play a media game with our teammates. I think that people look to pick on things on Manny because he's Manny Ramirez. We'll take care of things and we take care of things in here.

He just kept us in the game, plain and simple. They were taking good swings early, but not as good of swings later. He settled into his game real good. His stuff was electric, there's no question. I'll take one run every time someone takes the ball.
