"He asked me, `If I ran do you think they'd give me a hit on that?' I said, `I don't know. You didn't run, so don't worry about it.' " -- 8.13.06, Mike Lowell, out in the open on Manny's lack of hustle

"It wasn't like I was devastated or thought the world was coming to an end. I know what's up ... The fans, they don't really understand. It's good for them to understand everything is going to be just fine. I had all the confidence in the world in myself. The great ones -- [Mariano] Rivera, [Trevor] Hoffman -- they go through bumps in the road. What distinguishes the great player from the average player are the ones who get out of ruts quick. That's my whole goal." -- 8.12.06, Jonathan 'Even Keel' Papelbon
