Tim Wakefield is officially my favorite Red Sox of all time. His comment last night, after pitching nine innings and getting the win with David Ortiz's walk-off home run:

"I told Dougie (Mirabelli, his catcher) after the ninth that I've got five more in me,'' said Wakefield, who improved to 7-1 in his last eight starts. "It's one of those cool nights, it's not hot, you get some energy, but we're really fortunate that David came on and won that game for us.''
