Sox1Fan has some great quotes from our All Stars, including these,

Of Manny’s absence, Papelbon quipped: “Manny is here. I think he might have checked into the wrong hotel or something, knowing him. He did come on the flight with us here. After that, I think he got lost. It’s more like, ‘Where’s Waldo?”... we give him a hard time about it all the time, (but) he just tries to be as private as he can”.

The Red Sox all-stars were transported to San Fran on John W. Henry’s Leerjet after the three game debacle in detroit wrapped up on Sunday. Asked about the trip westward, starting pitcher Josh Beckett said: “It was great. We got to listen to Cinco Ocho (Papelbon) yell at Mike Lowell for beating him in cribbage the whole way, it was great”.
