I'm very confident we've found the right person in Bobby Valentine
We have a good team ... If we can continue to add to it as the season progresses, when we see the needs are and we see what the strengths and weaknesses are, then we'll be fine.
In the end, I'm very confident that we did find the right person in Bobby Valentine
It's more than a special day. It's the beginning of a life that's going to extend beyond anything I thought I'd be doing
Bobby Valentine doesn't need an ID to get into Sam's Club
Reputation is something that other people think about you, and right now, this group of guys has a reputation that's not warranted because everything I've heard about the players who were in uniform last year, and the coaching, says nothing but they had great character
weren’t going to hire Bobby Valentine or someone like that
Part of that job as analyst is to be critical, and I believe if some people are hurt by what I had to say and took exception to it, I get that, and I'm looking forward to the time when it's not a conversation that they're going to hear from me making a comment on television -- our conversation is going ...
I think it’s great ... This rivalry is great for baseball. I’ve said it a million times, it’s great for both cities, but baseball as a whole. It seems like everyone stops just to watch those 18 games. Bobby Valentine is a great manager and he’s a funny guy. He’s got a great personality. I think the inte...
Part of that job as an analyst is to be critical ... I believe that if some people heard what i had to say and took exception with it, i get that.
Bobby Valentine is a great manager and he's a funny guy ... He's got a great personality. I think the interviews either before or after games are going to be a little more interesting, and that'll be good for both teams.
I have a lot of adjectives [said] about me
Here lies Bobby Valentine. He once snuck back into the dugout after an ejection, wearing a fake mustache. And he didn't suffer fools gladly.
Something happened in September that I wasn't involved in. I didn't see it first-hand

The talent level and the players that we have in this organization is a gift to anyone and I'm the receiver of that gift ... I'm honored, I'm humbled and I'm pretty damn excited.
Bobby Valentine is pick to manage Red Sox; will drama follow?
I plan to reach out on the phone and be on the plane to meet players. There's going to be a continuing conversation so I can get to know them individually, so I can put them together collectively to create a championship team
I am honored. I'm humbled and I'm pretty damn excited
If only all your experiences could be good then we'd live in this fairy land that Fenway Park is built around. You can't. I've had bad experiences that I hope I learn from, and I've had good experiences that I hope I've learned from
I understand how difficult this was for the organization because of the outstanding candidates involved in process
I'm honored, I'm humbled, I'm pretty damn excited
Discipline is not 30 whacks with a whip these days
I don't take days off ... I just want to help.
