It would be sweeter, ... Everybody would like to see the Yankees not make the postseason one year. If Boston wins that division, and we do our job by beating the Yankees, it would be a tremendous thing. It means we're playing good baseball against a team that sets the standard for good baseball.
More Quotes from Bob Wickman:
I get asked a lot about being their third choice, but I was the one who chose to make it harder on myself by wanting just a one-year deal. There were some owners with wide eyes when I told them that. I wanted it that way because, if I got hurt, I could just walk off and go home.Bob Wickman

It was just the worst-case scenario that we had to play them seven times at the end of the season when we were right in the race. Any other team, we probably would have been there. We were beating everybody else, but for some reason, Tampa Bay had our number, and so did Chicago.
