BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair.

When we start worrying about what’s going on with the Boston Red Sox, or where we are in the standings and trying to protect the record and trying to protect the lead, we’re getting our minds off what we should be focusing on, which is playing our game 
Whaddya mean why am I doing this? It just seemed the right thing to do. A 10-year-old boy loses his dad. The common connection is Red Sox baseball. I love the Boston Red Sox. Why not?
I think he is the heart and soul of the Boston Red Sox...Pedroia is the guy that makes this team go. I don't think there's any question about that ... If you stop Pedroia, you've got a chance to beat them. To me, all the other guys are supporting cast. That's no disrespect to any of them. They've got great players--Ortiz, Youkilis. But Pedroia's the main guy.
Swing and a ground ball, stabbed by Foulke, he has it, he underhands to first and the Boston Red Sox are the world champions! For the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox have won baseball's world championship. Can you believe it?
I never thought I was going to walk a goddamn jockey ... Walking a guy who just came from being on top of Big Brown. Right now, he's on a roll. This guy right now is on fire. No matter what you throw up there, he's going to get it. I can't believe you can change professions in one year, go from the Kentucky Derby to the Boston Red Sox ballpark.
No one feel sorry for us ... This is the big leagues, I've always said that. The Tampa Bay Rays aren't feeling sorry for us. The Boston Red Sox aren't going to feel sorry for us. We've got to go in there and find a way to win some games -- to dig down deep and have somebody step up on the pitcher's mound and throw the game of their life and have hitters step up when the time is right. That's the bottom line.
My daughter's wish was to meet the Boston Red Sox and she has a bat signed by Jacoby Ellsbury
I'm still here, I'll be here tomorrow ... In 1999, when I was at double-A with the Boston Red Sox I thought I might get traded.
This is crazy. They say I'm coming to NESN, they say I'm coming to the Globe, they say I'm coming to WEEI. I have had no discussions with anybody in Boston about the Red Sox, Tom Brady's foot or me working there
If the Red Sox come, it would bring in direct flights from Boston, and it would attract people from New York to New Hampshire
