“He’s a warrior, man,” said pitcher Daniel Bard, who was saved the run. “He’s intimidating when you see him walking out in his full gear and that’s exactly why. He’s a competitor and that’s the reason the Red Sox still want him here, because he does stuff like that for the team. That’s not going to show up in the stats or be in the box score tomorrow, but that’s as big a play as you could ask for tonight.”

August 14, 2009 - Red Sox @ Rangers196 viewsJason's post-game comments:
On Victor Martinez:
"He's fit right in. I mean I don't what more to say than that. He's a good man. He swings the bat well and gives up some versatility. He moves some guys around and that was a huge hit."
On Lester hitting his 6th 10-strikeout of the season, a record for Red Sox left-hander:
"A day like today, when he’s having to battle, you still see 10 strikeouts? Today was a battle for Jon. It didn't come easy for him, as far as command. He had to really work today. It’s a great feat for a great young pitcher who's still developing."
On how the ninth-inning played out:
"It was huge, it amounted to a win, first and foremost. David starts it off...we're able to get it all the way through (several batters), Pedey comes up with a huge hit and then misfortune happens, and then you back that up with Victor getting a huge hit. It was a big, big boost for this team."
On being pinch-run for by pitcher Clay Buchholz:
"Buch can fly! I can palate that a little more than David (Ortiz) running for me! (laughs). Buch's a good athlete and can really, really run. It was probably the smart thing to do, just an unfortunate ball."Aug 15, 2009

From WEEI's Dennis & Callahan Show with guest Curt Schilling on Friday, August 14th:
D&C: "I thought the interesting thing was how Edwin Jackson was a bad ass until Tek grabbed him and then suddenly he went limp. Then when Tek let him go to turn his attention on someone else, he became a bad ass again."
Curt: "That generally happens to most human beings when Tek's around. A lot of people get 'beer muscles' out there, and Tek is generally 'The Equalizer' .... you see that Tek's kinda like a magnet out there, things kind of bounce away from him in a pile like that."Aug 12, 2009

Jason: It's not particularly fun (smiles), I was just lucky to get some good parts of the bat on the ball tonight.
Q: Do you kind of feel like you knew what was coming because you had worked with him for so long?
Jason: "No, I think it's the opposite. I think you get mind-logged, especially having not caught him for so long. He's changed a lot since he's been here, he's more slider than curveball. But it was a good reception for him though!"Jun 21, 2009

Tichenor, a minor league fill-in, ejected Jason in the seventh inning when he stood up after a Josh Beckett pitch to the Twins Brendan Harris was called a ball. Beckett was disgusted with the call and expressed his feelings towards Tichenor, which prompted Varitek's response.
Asked about the situation later, Varitek said, "I need a timeout, I may say something I might regret."
