I would not want anybody on the mound in Game 2 other than Pedro Martinez. Because I'm his daddy.

Pedro is one of the best big-game pitchers out there,

Pedro is Pedro. He hits his spots and changes speeds. He works in-and-out. He doesn't have to throw hard, but he has gas in the tank.

You know, it's a tough game, it's a battle,

Everybody was a little worried at first with the whole guys not swinging the bat, but you know what, there's a different light switch on opening day and this group showed up to play. It's a lineup that doesn't run well, but we can hit the baseball.

It felt good to contribute, ... This is not about me, it?s about the Red Sox.
