We're a great team. And don't you fucking forget that. And let's go play one at a time and go prove that. Because let me tell you something...."Ortiz pulled on the sides of his gray road jersey. "There's a reason why you wear this Red Sox uniform...."Ortiz paused for a beat, letting the suspenseful silence fill the rapt room."Because you're a bad mother-fucker." -Big Papi http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tom_verducci/10/30/world.series1105/index.html And then there's this other one: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/rumors/post/Red-Sox-would-be-No-1-on-A-Rod-s-list?urn=mlb,52279
