BECKKKKKKKKKETT!

I executed just enough pitches today to survive, that's a good lineup over there. You can tell how hungry they are."

--Josh Beckett after game 1 of the world series. He was clearly talking about something other than the game he just pitched.

I hope my teammates are happy, that's who I'm really here to please. If they're happy, I'm happy." --Beckett 10/24/2007
