Tim Wakefield quotes:

Going through college a Red Sox fan and knowing the history behind everything that was going on back in the '80s and finally getting a chance to win a World Series for this great city and bringing it back after 86 years, it was truly special, and it's one of the highlights that I'll remember for a long time.

There's been times where I've come out of the bullpen thinking I was going to throw a no hitter, and I've lasted two or three innings. So I try not to use my pre-game warm ups as a barometer of how I'm going to pitch.

Its nice to have a catcher who knows my mechanics, too. That way if I get into trouble he can stop it before I get out of control.

It's hard to get guys out when you have nothing to get them out with.
