Mnookin: VORP, Clutch, Manny, and David Yankee Fan Reminder: Don't Forget to CheerARod.com (... Still Looking for CheerKeithFoulke.com) Wilbur: On Shaky Ground
"In the past, maybe that's not such a concern, as the Red Sox played some of their best ball when they were down. See 2004 for any and all examples. But this version doesn't seem to have that never say die attitude, the perception of a lack of respect that guys like Kevin Millar used as a rallying call for his teammates. There may be a feeling of immediacy in the clubhouse, but that doesn't necessarily translate to the stubborn determination that the previous group made their very identity." -- 8.7.06, Eric Wilbur, Boston.com

Edes: Frustration in the Clubhouse
Are Players Upset Because Theo Didn't Upgrade?
Will Sox regret not making a major trade? "If you're talking about inside the clubhouse, there is already frustration that the Sox did nothing to upgrade themselves and came into this weekend with a misshapen roster of 13 pitchers and a short bench. These guys have just one investment, and that's in today. The future means little to them, and they're left to wonder whether the Sox did all they could to get a Bobby Abreu or Cory Lidle or another impact player. The frustration in the front office is tempered by a longer view, that they held onto the core of players that represent the team's future. But can you count on being this close to winning down the road?" -- 8.6.06, Gordon Edes, Boston Globe, Quick Shots: Will Sox Regret Not Making a Major Trade?

"It would have been a lot more interesting if we could have held them down in the eighth." -- 8.5.06, Terry Francona on the horrendous Hansen outing
"`In my [David Ortiz's] situation, I think when I go out there, sometimes you have to flip a coin. Sometimes, I'm OK, sometimes I [stink]. I guess tonight was a night I [stunk]. It was a ball I've got to catch. It was a ball I tried to throw before I caught the ball, and it got me in trouble. Bad decision, I guess. I was trying to do my best. I can't do too much over there. It can't be all fantasy." -- 8.5.06, David Ortiz on his Big play in the field
