I suppose we could bring him back and let him pitch in Boston (next week) but he only threw 32 pitches the other day (against Triple-A Syracuse) and I don't think he'll throw a whole lot more (Thursday). I like keeping him on track to pitch on the 16th (at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago) without messing it up.

We are a very good team and this loss doesn't mean we are not a good team. It will be interesting to see how we respond in training and how we play at Boston College next week. We will learn from this game, and it is still only September as there is a lot of soccer left.

Fox just had to overpay on a rights fee basis for the Celtics games in order to keep the lights on the Boston market, ... So they're saving a lot of money owning the Dodgers. If the Dodgers' broadcast rights were up for public bid right now, they could go to an astronomical sum, and that would mean either a loss of programming for Fox or far greater costs.

My No. 1 goal is to be No. 1 in my first Boston Marathon, and I always run to win.

My mum is very political - left wing - and my dad was in the advertising business. They were both from the East Coast: Boston and New York City, respectively.

My whole point this season was to prove to Boston they made a good choice when they picked me up. It was nice tonight especially after I started with Toronto and they kind of gave up on me and traded me.

My voice was taken away from me. The prosecutors in Boston are elected. I am all in favour of educating people in Boston about shaken baby syndrome.

We have to get a team that represents what our standards are. On the road trip and the Boston game prior to that, we represented ourselves well. In the last two games we have given very, very little to the game, to each other and to the organization.

We have no one to blame but ourselves. I give Boston credit. They hung in and did what they have to do to win the game.

Obviously, that's something that has been in the back of our minds. There is no resentment toward Diana at all. She was an unbelievable pioneer in women's basketball. We also want to leave our legacy with a successful career. It wouldn't end any better way than us being in Boston at the Final Four and winning the national championship.
