BOSTON (AP) -- A comment by Indians first baseman Ryan Garko following Game 5 may have given the Boston Red Sox some extra motivation.

Following Cleveland's 7-1 loss, Garko seemed to promise Cleveland would take care of business and win the AL pennant at Fenway Park.

"The champagne tastes just as good on the road as it does at home," Garko said.

Garko's quote, typed on white paper in bold black letters, was taped on the back of Boston's clubhouse door.

Before Game 7 of the AL championship series Sunday night, however, Garko indicated his comment may have been taken out of context.

"The media here and in New York can twist things," Garko said.

Garko was then told it came from a Cleveland-area paper.

"I really didn't say that. It got twisted a little bit. I've always tried to be pretty honest. It was during this series but it was about the New York series that I was talking. What made it a story was that someone decided to put it on their clubhouse wall. That wouldn't get me fired up if I read it.

"It was all about the past and it was turned in to here."

Garko said he hadn't heard from any of the Red Sox about his comments, and doubted any of them took it seriously.

"If you need a quote to motivate you right now, your heart isn't where it should be. We're playing to go to the World Series."

Amen. And they should both choke on their shitburger. Willie moreso than Garko, as I could care less about the Cleveland Indians.

I would hold off for now - there's still nine days and two teams left in this month.
